Boundary Value Problems: Analytic Methods of Solution
The relations and methods introduced in Chaps. 3 and 4 dealt primarily with point and distributed charges and the electric fields they produce. If the charges were known, the electric field and potential could be determined. However, many practical situ

Preface
You can because you ought. —Imanuel Kant
One of the main difficulties in teaching electromagnetic fields is the perception on the part of many students that electromagnetics is essentially a supportive topic. They are told that they need to study electromagnetics early in the curriculum because they will need it later to understand other topics in the electrical engineering curriculum, such as electric machines, microwaves, or communication. This, with the prevailing perception of the topic being difficult, esoteric, or boring, creates a heavy atmosphere around the subject. More often than not, this leads to self-fulfilling prophecies, and as a result, even those students who perform well do not get the full benefit of the experience such an exciting topic can impart. This is particularly sad, because electromagnetics motivates many students to pursue studies in electrical engineering. They are familiar with electromagnetic waves, electric motors, magnetic recording, radar, antennas, and many others and have been exposed to hundreds of electromagnetic devices. Yet few make the connection between these a
