The purpose of this book is to describe methods for solving problems in applied electromagnetic theory using basic concepts from functional anal ysis and the theory of operators. Although the book focuses on certain mathematical fundamentals, it is written from an applications perspective for engineers and applied scientists working in this area. Part I is intended to be a somewhat self-contained introduction to op erator theory and functional analysis, especially those elements necessary for application to problems in electromagnetics. The goal of Part I is to ex plain and synthesize these...
