The Theory of the Electomagnetism covers the behavior of
electromagnetic fields and those parts of applied mathematics
necessary to discover this behavior. This book is composed of 11
chapters that emphasize the Maxwell's equations. The first chapter is
concerned with the general properties of solutions of Maxwell's
equations in matter, which has certain macroscopic properties. The
succeeding chapters consider specific problems in electromagnetism,
including the determination of the field produced by a variable
charge, first in isolation and then in the surface distributions of an
antenna. The next two chapters are concerned with the effects of
surrounding the medium by a perfectly conducting boundary as in a
cavity resonator and as in a waveguide. Other chapters are devoted to
discussions on the effect of a plane interface where the properties of
the medium change discontinuously; the propagation along cylindrical
surfaces; the study of the waves scattered by objects both with and
without edges. This book further reviews the harmonic waves and the
difficulties involved in going from harmonic waves to those with a
more general time dependence. The final chapter provides some
information about the classical theory of electrons,
magneto-hydrodynamics and waves in a plasma. This book will prove
useful to physicists, and physics teachers and students.
