The ideas are introduced slowly with the aid of a large number of worked examples and is aimed at students in engineering, physics and chemistry. This book is based on a lecture course in the Department of Engineering at Oxford taught by the author. Solymar is the co-author of "Lectures on Electromagnetic Theory" (1983) and "Lectures on the Electrical Properties of Materials 4/e" (1988). He has also written a "Solutions Manual" (1988) to accompany the latter book.
