This book introduces three of the most popular numerical methods for simulating electromagnetic fields: the finite difference method, the finite element method and the method of moments. In particular it focuses on how these methods are used to obtain valid approximations to the solutions of Maxwell's equations. Contains several MATLAB programs and detailed description of practical issues to help students write their own programs.

Describes most popular computational methods used to solve problems in electromagnetics Matlab code is included throughout, so that the reader could implement the various techniques discussed Exercises included
