Concise Introduction to Electromagnetic Fields

This book introduces electrical engineering students and practitioners to the subject of electromagnetics. The book begins with a review of essential mathematical topics and then shifts to the topics of electrostatics, magnetostatics, time-varying electromagnetics, and antennas. Coverage includes a wide range of topics in electromagnetics with clear and simple descriptions of necessary concepts and worked-out examples, as well as explanations of relevant physics.

The book can serve as a primary reference for undergraduate-level electromagnetics courses and a quick review of elementary pre-requisite topics in graduate-level electromagnetics courses.
