Product Description As the availability of powerful computer resources has grown over the last three decades, the art of computation of electromagnetic (EM) problems has also grown - exponentially. Despite this dramatic growth, however, the EM community lacked a comprehensive text on the computational techniques used to solve EM problems. The first edition of Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics filled that gap and became the reference of choice for thousands of engineers, researchers, and students. The Second Edition of this bestselling text reflects the continuing increase in awareness and use of numerical techniques and incorporates advances and refinements made in recent years. Most notable among these are the improvements made to the standard algorithm for the finite difference time domain (FDTD) method and treatment of absorbing boundary conditions in FDTD, finite element, and transmission-line-matrix methods. The author also added a chapter on the method of lines. Numerical Techniques in Electromagnetics continues to teach readers how to pose, numerically analyze, and solve EM problems, give them the ability to expand their problem-solving skills using a variety of methods, and prepare them for research in electromagnetism. Now the Second Edition goes even further toward providing a comprehensive resource that addresses all of the most useful computation methods for EM problems. | ||

Not detailed enough + some typos This book is a decent overview of numerical techniques in electromagnetics (and in general). Unfortunately, I don't think it goes into enough detail for you to really understand fully the different methods. Most of the really difficult (but fundamental) mathematics is just glossed over, this is done with PML in chapter 3 and calculus of variations in chapter 4. In short, I don't think this is a good self-study book, and I certainly wouldn't expect to be able to write a practical numerical EM solver based on the info in this book. On the plus side, there are plenty of Fortran and C programs in this book given as examples, and there are many techniques covered (FDTD, MoM, FEM, TLM, Monte Carlo, method of lines). I wish this book spent more time on the really important methods (FDTD and FEM) and less on the more obscure ones (TLM, method of lines, etc.) There are a few glaring typos in this book that I've noticed, e.g., in figure captions. This is annoying and makes me wonder if there are more subtle errors elsewhere in the text. In all, this might be a good book for you, depending on your needs. | ||
grad level text Can't design motors without a little computer-aided engineering ...this is a good overview of the theory of subjects such as finite element analysis, boundary element analysis, finite difference analysis, etc. I used this text in my graduate level course on the subject. | ||
good book this book is nice....there are so many things covered there....that it is not possible for the author to go too deep into solution of the wave equation itself...i would have loved a better introduction to the field equations...something i found surprisin given that it is a book in EM. But, even if you can catch up and apply a | ||
