Informationen zum Autor Frederic R. Morgenthaler , PhD, joined the faculty of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1960, becoming a Full Professor in 1968. He retired from MIT in 1996 and is currently Professor Emeritus of Electrical Engineering. Dr. Morgenthaler has served as a consultant to the U.S. government as well as private industry. A Fellow of the IEEE and the holder of approximately one dozen patents, Dr. Morgenthaler has authored over 100 scientific publications and papers. Klappentext Unique, multi-level textbook is adaptable to introductory, intermediate, and advanced levelsThis revolutionary textbook takes a unique approach to electromagnetic theory, comparing both conventional and modern theories. It explores both the Maxwell-Poynting representation as well as the Alternate representation, which the author demonstrates is generally simpler and more suitable for analyzing modern electromagnetic environments. Throughout the text, students and researchers have the opportunity to examine both of these theories and discover how each one can be applied to solve problems.The text is divided into four parts:* Part I: Basic Electromagnetic Theory includes Maxwell's equations, quasistatics, power and energy, stress and momentum, and electromagnetic wave theorems and principles* Part II: Four-Dimensional Electromagnetism includes four-dimensional vectors and tensors and energy-momentum tensors* Part III: Electromagnetic Examples includes statics and quasistatics, accelerating charges, plane waves, transmission lines, waveguides, antennas and diffraction, and ferrites* Part IV: Backmatter includes a summary, appendices, and referencesDesigned to accommodate a broad range of interests and backgrounds, the text's companion DVD enables readers to reconfigure the material as an introductory-, intermediate-, or advanced-level text. Moreover, the text and its DVD offer a broad range of features that make it possible for readers to quickly grasp new concepts and apply them in practice:* Practice problems provide the opportunity to solve real-world problems using electromagnetic theory* Forty animations illustrate electric and magnetic field transients* Line drawings and computer-generated mathematical figures clarify complex concepts and procedures.* Maxima, a powerful symbolic mathematics program, helps readers explore four-dimensional electromagnetic theory as well as perform numerical and graphical analysesAdaptable to multiple levels, this text can be used for both undergraduate and graduate coursework. It is also recommended as a reference for researchers in such fields as electrical engineering, laser physics, materials science, and biomedical engineering. Zusammenfassung * Includes both conventional electromagnetic theory, Maxwell-Poynting representation, and also Alternate representation theory which is more suitable for modern EM environments. Students and theorists can examine two separate theories and witness the same outcomes.
