Analytical Techniques in Electromagnetics

This book offers a balanced view of techniques for solving electromagnetic problems, refusing to overemphasize the importance of analytical methods at the expense of numerical techniques. Carefully selected topics provide an appreciation of the kinds of electromagnetic problems that can be solved exactly. Beginning with a review of basic electromagnetics, the text covers separation of variables, series expansion, conformal transformation, and perturbation methods, as well as Fourier sine and cosine, two-sided Fourier, Laplace, Hankel, and Mellin transform techniques. Simple examples, worked-out problems, and end-of-chapter exercises demonstrate various applications.
