This hands-on introduction to computational electromagnetics (CEM) links theoretical coverage of the three key methods - the FDTD, MoM and FEM - to open source MATLAB codes (freely available online) in 1D, 2D and 3D, together with many practical hints and tips gleaned from the author's 25 years of experience in the field. Updated and extensively revised, this second edition includes a new chapter on 1D FEM analysis, and extended 3D treatments of the FDTD, MoM and FEM, with entirely new 3D MATLAB codes. Coverage of higher-order finite elements in 1D, 2D and 3D is also provided, with supporting code, in addition to a detailed 1D example of the FDTD from a FEM perspective. With running examples through the book and end-of-chapter problems to aid understanding, this is ideal for professional engineers and senior undergraduate/graduate students who need to master CEM and avoid common pitfalls in writing code and using existing software.
Many experts who work on CEM are great mathematicians and physicists. You can find the beauty of math and physics in their textbooks. But if you are an entrepreneur who wants to start a business in CEM, you must read Prof. Davidson's book before lost in your dreams. The book explains very well why certain CEM methods are particularly suitable for certain markets. As a practitioner, I find the book especially useful for choosing computational algorithms that are proven to work for industrial applications. It also teaches you how to debug and validate CEM codes. All Prof. Davidson's industrial and commercial perspectives are hard to find in other CEM textbooks.
