This book deals with the mathematical analysis and the numerical approximation of time-harmonic eddy current problems. It is self-contained and suitable for mathematicians and engineers working in the field and also accessible for beginners.
Electromagnetism is without any doubt a fascinating area of physics, engineering and mathematics. Since the early pioneering works of Ampère, Faraday, and Maxwell, the scientific literature on this subject has become immense, and books devoted to almost all of its aspects have been published in the meantime. However, we believe that there is still some place for new books dealing with electromagnetism, particularly if they are focused on more specific models, or try to mix different levels of analysis: rigorous mathematical results, sound numerical approximation schemes, real-life examples from physics and engineering.
