This second edition of Electromagnetics and Calculation of Fields was undertaken with the intention of both updating the first edition and, most importantly, introducing the new subject of edge or vector finite elements. We felt that edge elements have matured enough to be included in a text of this type. In addition, the original text was expanded to include an introduction to the finite element method as a general design tool with in-depth discussion of the method's practical aspects, before its application to specific electromagnetic phenomena is introduced. Many of the features of the previous edition as well as the general appearance and flavor were retained while the coverage was extended and the presentation improved.
