Course Description

This course is the second of a two semester course sequence in electromagnetic theory. In this course we will develop a more rigorous mathematical understanding of electromagnetic waves and their interactions with materials and structures. Specifically, this course will cover topics such as plane waves, reflection and transmission, waveguides, scattering, radiation and an introduction to numerical methods in electromagnetics. It is assumed that the students have a general knowledge of vector analysis, differential and integral calculus and have completed an introductory course in electromagnetic theory.
