Book Description

ISBN-10: 0780310144 | ISBN-13: 978-0780310148 | Publication Date: April 21, 1993

"An IEEE reprinting of this classic 1968 edition, FIELD COMPUTATION BY MOMENT METHODS is the first book to explore the computation of electromagnetic fields by the most popular method for the numerical solution to electromagnetic field problems. It presents a unified approach to moment methods by employing the concepts of linear spaces and functional analysis. Written especially for those who have a minimal amount of experience in electromagnetic theory, this book illustrates theoretical and mathematical concepts to prepare all readers with the skills they need to apply the method of moments to new, engineering-related problems.

Written especially for those who have a minimal amount of experience in electromagnetic theory, theoretical and mathematical concepts are illustrated by examples that prepare all readers with the skills they need to apply the method of moments to new, engineering-related problems."

4.0 out of 5 stars First of its kind, needs additional material and an update, September 16, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Field Computation by Moment Methods (IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory) (Hardcover)

This is the first book written on the use of the method of moments for solving electric, magnetic and electromagnetic boundary value problems. It is an extremely important work, since it treats electromagnetic theory by a powerful network theory approach and makes it easier to understand how to formulate and solve scattering problems. I would like to see it rewritten with additional explanitory material. It is somewhat terse, in parts, and I believe it to be important enough to add more. In addition Mr Harrington needs to update it, to reflect what he has learned since its first appearance. The book needs to be accessible to a wider audience.

This book is not only excellent, but is also a very important book, because it is the first (and the only one I know of) of its kind. Kudos to Mr. Harrington.

This is not a text aimed at beginners, however the author would do well to present the text in a more accessible manner in future editions.
