Description Electromagnetic wave
propagation is governed by Maxwell's equations, a PDE system
that couples time varying changes in electromagnetic waves
with spatial changes. Solving these equations
computationally is quite challenging, as there are many
different regimes to consider: time-domain problems,
high-frequency problems, complex geometry, etc. This course
will give an overview of the PDE and integral equation
theory for Maxwell's equations, and then tackle various
numerical methods for solving these problems.
