Electromagnetics

Presents a coherent and comprehensive account of the fundamentals of electromagnetic theory, giving readers an intuitive grasp of the subject. Emphasis is on the physical basis of the subject, but without undue neglect of mathematics. Includes topics not usually found in the standard texts. Includes new sections on hysteresis, coaxial waveguides, radiation pressure, scattering by bound charge, and reflection by the ionosphere. Contains 20 new, fully worked examples that illustrate applications to some problems of practical complexity. Bridges the gap between highly mathematical works and the usual, less rigorous formulations of the subject, and thus provides an easily understandable introduction to the subject. "Google Books" Addressed to the advanced undergraduate and graduate student interested in lasers, this book encompasses the wide area joining laser physics and non-linear optics. The earlier chapters give a concise account of basic physics on which the operation of lasers depends.
