- Book Synopsis
- 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 of waves in regions with planar, cylindrical, spherical, and wedge boundaries Explores the formulation of integral equations and their analytical solutions in some simple cases Discusses approximation techniques for problems without exact analytical solutions Presents a general proof that no classical electromagnetic field can travel faster than the speed of light Features end-of-chapter problems that increase comprehension of key concepts and fuel additional research Electromagnetic Boundary Problems uses generalized functions consistently to treat problems that would otherwise be more difficult, such as jump conditions, motion of wavefronts, and reflection from a moving conductor. The book offers valuable insight into how and why various formulation and solution methods do and do not work.
- 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 École Polytechnique Fédérale 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 Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE); stays active in the International Scientific Radio Union (URSI); has been named an honorary professor at five major Chinese universities; serves as chairman of the International Board of Advisors at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hung Hom; and was appointed special advisor to the president of Nanjing University, China.
