"The monograph provides useful mathematical tools for investigations of some problems for electromagnetic fields and their computational realizations." (Vasil G. Angelov, zbMATH 1452.78001, 2021)

"This book presents an in-depth treatment of various mathematical aspects of electromagnetism and Maxwell's equations. ... The text is entirely self-contained, assuming from the reader only an undergraduate-level background in analysis. It is suitable for students and researchers in applied mathematics interested in Maxwell's equations and their approximate or coupled models." (Agustin Martin, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2019)
