Discussed is the electromagnetic field theory and its mathematical methods. Maxwell's equations are presented and explained. It follows a detailed discussion of electrostatics, flux, magnetostatics, quasi stationary fields and electromagnetic fields.

The author presents how to apply numerical methods like finite differences, finite elements, boundary elements, image charge methods, and Monte-Carlo methods to field theory problems. He offers an outlook on fundamental issues in physics including quantum mechanics. Some of these issues are still unanswered questions. A chapter dedicated to the theory of special relativity, which allows to simplify a number of field theory problems, complements this book.

A book whose usefulness is not limited to engineering students, but can be very helpful for physicists and other branches of science.

Industry Reviews

Aus den Rezensionen:

"... Die vier Maxwell Gleichungen, die die Erzeugung von elektrischen und magnetischen Feldern durch Ladungen und Strome beschreiben ... Eine mathematisch einfach anmutende Grundlage, die es in sich hat. Sie erkl¤rt alle Phanomene der klassischen Elektrodynamik. Das Buch geht unter anderem auf diverse analytische L¶sungen von Rand und Initialwertproblemen ein ... eine englische Version dieses bewahrten Standardwerks gibt." (in: Bulletin SEV/VSE electrosuisse (Sonderausgabe), 22/October/2010, Issue 10s, S. 53)
