This complementary text to MaX-1: A Visual Electromagnetics Platform for PCs also serves as a stand-alone text offering an introduction to modern computational electromagnetics methods based on numeric, semi-analytic and analytic Maxwell solvers. Coverage spans all theories and tools that are important for computational electromagnetics, including chapters on mathematics, numerical methods, Maxwell theory, etc. Deliberately intended not to be another electromagnetics text, the author explains how to invent and develop numerical techniques, also how existing techniques can be analyzed,...

The present book was accepted as a dissertation at the Humboldt Universitat zu Berlin in summer 1996. I am very much obliged to thank my advisor, Professor Wolfgang Hardie, for the continuous, always inspiring support and for opening me the world of non parametric statistics. Without him I probably would have worked on a different, less exciting topic and this book would not exist. Also, I would like to thank my second advisor, Professor Helmut Liitkepohl, for his excellent introduction to time series analysis and for always helpful comments on my work. This work was financially supported by...

Kann der Leser Fragmente von Geschichten zu einer neuen Welt zusammensetzen?"
