Mathematical tools for supporting Web-based education of electromagnetics

This article presents the needs and the possibilities of integrating modern mathematical tools into educational Web-systems within the field of electromagnetics, where both development of mathematical concepts and visualization of functional relations governing electrical behavior are most welcome. In order to achieve this, we have reviewed and tested the most popular mathematical tools that offer access to the kernel through a Web interface. The examples built by using WebMathematica illustrate how to prepare materials for a particular educational subject by using these tools.
