Book reviews - Dyadic Green's functions in electromagnetic theory

The introduction of a dyadic Green's function by means of which the vector wave equation, satisfied by the electric vector or the magnetic vector, can be integrated presents the most elegant and efficient way of dealing with many electromagnetic problems with sources. This text by C.T.Tai, well known for his research and teaching in Electromagnetic Theory, is a very thorough and lucid treatment of this topic. Intended for senior and graduate students in electrical engineering, applied mathematics and applied physics, it provides the basic concepts and properties of dyadic Green's functions as well as important applications of these functions in solving many sophisticated and useful problems in Electrmagnetics. It is also an indispensible primer for any researchers in the antenna and microwave area.
