This text is intended for use by civil engineering graduate students in a first-year sequence. Coverage progresses from the sources of the electromagnetic field through Maxwell's theory, the static electromagnetic field, temporal and spatial frequency domain representation, field decompositions and EM potentials, and integral solutions of Maxwell's equations. About 100 pages of appendices are included. The main mathematical appendices treat Fourier analysis, vector transport theorems, complex-plane integration, dyadic analysis, and boundary value problems. Several subsidiary appendices provide tables of identities and transforms. The most significant change to this second edition is a new chapter on integral equations with application to electromagnetics. Many new problems of varying difficulty have also been added. The assumed background of the reader is limited to standard undergraduate topics in physics and mathematics, especially complex arithmetic, vector analysis, ordinary differential equations, and certain topics normally covered in a 'signals and systems' course, such as the Fourier transform. Rothwell teaches in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University. Cloud teaches in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Lawrence Technological University.
