Taking a somewhat traditional viewpoint, this book begins with a review of stationary fields. Then, in a novel departure from many texts on EM theory, the author develops many of the essential ideas in wave propagation by treating purely scalar problems in one, two, and three dimensions. The loss in generality is later recovered when some of the same problems are addressed when vector solutions of Maxwell's equations are required. Not only is the impedance concept expounded, but transmission- line theory is used consistently to formulate boundary value problems even for fairly complicated geometries. Also, many of the wave theory results are interpreted by equivalent transmission line circuits. Exercises are included and references to the literature are listed at the end of each chapter. SI units are used throughout.
