Distributed Electrical Systems: A New Introduction to Electromagnetics

A new introductory sequence in engineering electromagnetics is described. Its novel features include an axiomatic development of electromagnetic theory, the application of transform analysis to the solution of the important partial differential equations, and the use of engineering terminology in developing a distributed systems viewpoint. The sequence establishes a close relationship among electromagnetics, circuits, and system theory, and has been used successfully at the University of Iowa for the past three years.
