5. COURSE OBJECTIVES

1. Students will learn to construct two and three dimensional Green's functions.

2. Students will learn to apply scalar Green's functions in higher dimensions to solve potentials (and field) for

electromagnetic problems with arbitrary source excitation.

3. Students will learn to formulate integral equations in terms of appropriate Green's functions to solve more general guided

wave discontinuity, radiation and scattering problems. Also included is an introduction to the Wiener-Hopf method for

solving a class of wave problems.
