The diligent efforts of many dedicated individuals to help eliminate errata and improve fine points of this text bear special commendation. In barely six months from the first printing, the authors, SciTech advisors, adopting instructors, their students, and very talented teaching assistants went through every page, figure, example, equation and problem to bring subsequent students and users this remarkably clean printing. Among the improvements that will benefits students and readers are the following:

• Chapter One - MATLAB, Vectors, and Phasors was rewritten to provide an even better review of vector analysis and a more detailed introduction to phasors and phasor notation.

• Sixteen new problems were added to Chapter Two - Electrostatic Fields

• All problems were checked for clarity and 100% accurate answers in Appendix G

• Highly detailed Solutions were derived for instructors in editable Word files

• Short sections were added on topics of EMF, power flow and energy deposition, and complex vectors

We continue to encourage submission of errata and suggestions for improvements.

We welcome Dr. Jonathan Bagby of Florida Atlantic University to the author team. Though Dr. Bagby is primarily concerned with the Optional Topics on the Student CD that will evolve into the Intermediate Electromagnetics with MATLAB text, his strong background in Mathematics was ideal in strengthening Chapter 1 and overseeing numerous improvements in Chapter 7's Transmission Lines notation.

Prof. Sven Bilen and his colleague Prof. Svetla Jivkova of Pennsylvania State University used their teaching experience from the text and invited student...
