ANALYTICAL METHODS FOR ELECTROMAGNETICS ENGINEERING
Reviews basic calculations in electromagnetic engineering upon which all higher level concepts and physical model construction are based. It emphasizes quantitative calculation mastery in three spatial dimensions. Applies analysis tools from vector calculus to the calculation and prediction of electrical system properties. Examples include calculating electric and magnetic fields, electric potentials, total electric charge, and electric flux from change or current sources.
