MASTERING ELECTROMAGNETISM

Learn electromagnetism the way it is actually used: by deriving every result and then solving real problems with it.

Mastering Electromagnetism takes you from vector calculus to antennas and numerical simulation in sixteen carefully sequenced chapters. Every derivation is complete, every worked example shows its intermediate numbers, and every answer can be checked.

Inside you will find:
- Nearly 300 worked examples, each solved step by step with units and final answers set off for quick checking
- 320 end-of-chapter problems and 96 conceptual questions, with every answer and a short explanation in the chapter's answer key
- 50 precise figures computed directly from the equations, including field-line maps, potential plots, Smith charts, waveguide modes, and antenna patterns
- A simulation chapter with a working finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) program you can run and modify, plus an introduction to the method of moments

What you will master:
- Vector analysis in Cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical coordinates
- Electrostatics: Coulomb's and Gauss's laws, potential, energy, capacitance, and boundary-value problems
- Steady currents, magnetostatics, magnetic materials, forces, and inductance
- Faraday's law and the complete set of Maxwell's equations
- Plane waves, skin depth, polarization, reflection, and refraction
- Transmission lines, impedance matching, waveguides, and cavity resonators
- Radiation, dipoles, arrays, and link budgets
- Computational electromagnetics, shielding, wireless power, and exposure limits

Written for physics and electrical engineering students in a first or second course on electromagnetic theory, and for engineers who want a clear, rigorous refresher. Appendices collect vector identities, coordinate transformations, physical constants, and material properties, and a glossary and list of symbols keep notation consistent from the first page to the last.
