Features: The author has long been engaged in teaching and research on electromagnetic fields and waves, possessing extensive teaching experience and research expertise. The book is concise in content, clear in reasoning, rigorous in argumentation, and fluent in language, making it a distinctive textbook. It is a undergraduate textbook for foundational courses "Electromagnetic Fields and Waves" in electronic information-related majors at universities. The book primarily introduces the fundamental characteristics and principles of electromagnetic fields and waves, with a focus on time-varying electromagnetic fields. Based on the Helmholtz theorem, the book discusses electromagnetic fields in a unique and distinguishing manner. The book is divided into ten chapters: Vector Analysis; Electrostatic Fields; Boundary Value Problems of Electrostatic Fields; Steady Current Fields; Steady Magnetic Fields; Electromagnetic Induction; Time-Varying Electromagnetic Fields; Plane Electromagnetic Waves; Guided Electromagnetic Waves; and Electromagnetic Radiation. Numerous examples are provided, along with a certain number of thought questions and exercises at the end of each chapter. The book also introduces many engineering applications related to electromagnetic fields and waves. The appendix provides symbols, units, and dimensions of electromagnetic physical quantities; SI multiple units; vector identities; orthogonal curvilinear coordinates; delta functions; Bessel functions, Legendre functions; and the classification of electromagnetic wave bands.
