"... a very good set of analytical methodologies useful for solving electromagnetic problems. It could be used as a textbook for a separate, elective, senior-level course for students in electrical engineering departments. ... This book fills the gap in the current educational infrastructure."
—Marian K. Kazimierczuk, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, USA
"This text lays out in lavish detail classical analytic methods for solving second order partial differential equations in cartesian, cylindrical, and spherical geometries. Its singular strength is showing many of the steps in derivations, rather than just a few highlights."
—John D. Sahr, Electrical Engineering Department, University of Washington, Seattle, USA
"Overall, I appreciate the authors’ intent for the book, and their carefully selected analysis techniques and specific example problems. The mathematical techniques for solving the partial differential equations are straightforward and present a set of analysis methods that can be used to solve a wide variety of problems. The example solutions are rigorous and easy to follow given the foundations in chapter 2 and 3. I could see this book as a course textbook in beginning graduate courses on electromagnetics or as a desktop reference."
—Michael A. Saville, PhD, PE, Wright State University, Dayton, Ohio, USA
"... an essential textbook for anyone working with computations in electromagnetics. ... The book is very well written with a logical organization of the material into six chapters. The approach is pedagogical and there are detailed illustrations, in fact, around 100 of them. Applications of methods are illustrated with a variety of problems. Key references are provided at the end of each chapter. Each chapter is ended with a group of problems for exercise. The book provides a strong theoretical foundation for senior undergraduate students or graduate students and practicing engineers in analytical techniques in electromagnetics."

"As computer software for electromagnetic problems becomes ubiquitous, analytical solutions of these problems become indispensable for the validation and verification process. This book addresses the classical methods of solution by separation of variables. The book serves as a perfect introduction to the solution of the partial differential equation in the classical coordinate systems. To further widen the solution methods, the conformal mappings and perturbation methods are introduced. The generalized Fourier method is employed without too much mathematical artillery. Indeed, the focus is on the applications of the method. The text is comprehensive, and numerous examples illustrate the line of thought, which makes the text easy to follow."
