Electromagnetic Boundary Problems introduces the formulation and solution of Maxwell's equations describing electromagnetism. Based on a one-semester graduate-level course taught by the authors, the text covers material parameters, equivalence principles, field and source (stream) potentials, and uniqueness, as well as:Provides analytical solutions
Table of Contents:

Scattering by Simple Structures. Propagation and Scattering in More Complex Regions. Integral Equations in Scattering Problems. Approximation Methods. Appendices.
About the Author :
Edward F. Kuester received a BS degree from Michigan State University, East Lansing, USA, and MS and Ph.D degrees from the University of Colorado Boulder (UCB), USA, all in electrical engineering. Since 1976, he has been with the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering at UCB, where he is currently a professor. He also has been a summer faculty fellow at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California, USA; visiting professor at the Technische Hogeschool, Delft, The Netherlands; invited professor at the ecole Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, Switzerland; and visiting scientist at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), Boulder, Colorado, USA. Widely published, Dr. Kuester is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and a member of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) and Commissions B and D of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI).
David C. Chang holds a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan, and MS and Ph.D degrees in applied physics from Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA. He was previously full professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Colorado Boulder (UCB), USA, where he also served as chair of the department and director of the National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center for Microwave/Millimeter-Wave Computer-Aided Design. He then became dean of engineering and applied sciences at Arizona State University, Tempe, USA; was named president of Polytechnic University (now the New York University Polytechnic School of Engineering (NYU Poly)), Brooklyn, USA; and was appointed as NYU Poly chancellor. He retired from that position in 2013, and is now professor emeritus at the same university. Dr. Chang is a life fellow of the Institute of E
Review :
"… a unique title by two authors whose in-depth knowledge of this material and ability to present it to others are hardly matched. While the book provides distinguishing coverage and presentation of many topics, some discussions cannot be found elsewhere. I highly recommend this outstanding piece, bringing great value as both a textbook and reference text."
—Branislav M. Notaros, Colorado State University, Fort Collins, USA
"… useful for students, researchers, engineers, and teachers of electromagnetics. Today, in many universities, this discipline is taught by teachers who do not have much research experience in electromagnetism. That is why this textbook, written by world-known specialists and showing how electromagnetics courses should be built and taught, is very important. The authors have made clearer several aspects of electromagnetism which are poorly highlighted in earlier-published literature."
—Guennadi Kouzaev, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim
"Graduate students and learners of electromagnetics of any age and status: If you have not had a chance to attend graduate-level courses taught by great professors like Edward F. Kuester and David C. Chang, here comes opportunity knocking on your door. Electromagnetic Boundary Problems is borne out of course notes prepared, used, corrected, and perfected by the authors over the years at the University of Colorado, Boulder. This is a book of gems."
