Preface of Electromagnetic Wave Theory, Last Edition in 2008
by J. A. Kong

This book presents a unified macroscopic theory of electromagnetic waves in accordance with the principle of special relativity from the point of view of the form invariance of the Maxwell equations and the constitutive relations. Great emphasis is placed on the fundamental importance of the k vector in electromagnetic wave theory. We introduce a fundamental unit Ko = 2π meter−1 for the spatial frequency, which is cycle per meter in spatial variation. This is similar to the fundamental unit for temporal frequency Hz, which is cycle per second in time variation. The unit Ko is directly proportional to the unit Hz; one Ko in spatial frequency corresponds to 300 MHz in temporal frequency. Click here for more...

Preface of Maxwell Equation, EMW Publishing, 2002
by J. A. Kong

My original book Electromagnetic Wave Theory was published in 1975 by Wiley Interscience, New York, entitled Theory of Electromagnetic Waves, which was based on my 1968 Ph.D. thesis, where the concept of bianisotropic media was introduced. The book was expanded and published by the same Publisher in 1986 with the title Electromagnetic Wave Theory, and its second edition appeared in 1990. It was subsequently published by EMW Publishing Company, Massachusetts. This textbook on Maxwell Equations is distilled from the introductory part of Electromagnetic Wave Theory.
