Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials

Principles of Electromagnetic Waves and Materials is a condensed version of the author’s previously published textbook, Electromagnetic Waves, Materials, and Computation with MATLAB®. This book focuses on lower-level courses, primarily senior undergraduate and graduate students in electromagnetic waves and materials courses. It takes an integrative approach to the subject of electromagnetics by supplementing quintessential "old-school" information and methods with the appropriate amount of material on plasmas for exposing the students to the broad area of Plasmonics and by striking a balance between theoretical and practical aspects. Ancillary materials are available upon qualifying course adoption.

Review :
"Those who have to solve electromagnetic problems would greatly benefit from this book, especial1y electrical engineers, since it uses recognized electrical engineering nomenclature. ... The appendix describes many useful tools for solving electromagnetic problems. Some of these tools can be used in connection with the Poynting theorem, transmission line power calculations, Smith charts, nonuniform transmission lines, calculating high-frequency losses, 2-D and 3-D Green's functions, and ferrites and permeability tensors. ...This book is suitable for a senior undergraduate or graduate class in electromagnetics. It provides good concepts and analysis, rather than routine calculations without any insight into the problems. It will greatly help the engineer to understand the output from commercial software packages, and thus determine the credibility of that output. It also provides excellent insight into problem analysis and problem solving." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine, September/October 2014 - Vol. 30, No.5
