There is a problem with most standard texts on electromagnetism. Take Jackson's "Classical Electrodynamics" for example. Beautifully written, with elegant explanations of Maxwell's equations. But the problems given in such a text are often those with purely analytic solutions. These are certainly desirable. But the reality is that a lot of actual modelling of electromagnetic problems requires a computer to find the answer.

Different methods are useful. Of these, what is now called methods of moment, has emerged as one of the most powerful, as shown in this book. It is a technique that can be coded to tackle many integral equations that arise when you have a nontrivial geometry to consider.

The book is indeed rather specialised. But for some of you, it will save rummaging through research papers describing the method.
