| Summary: | Finite difference time domain (FDTD) computes the time evolution of a system at discrete time steps, and the resulting periodic visualization yields insight into the system. FDTD and FDTD-like methods can be used to solve a wide variety of problems, including, but not limited to, the wave equation, Maxwell's equations and the Schrödinger equation. In addition to introducing useful new methodologies, this book provides readers with analytical background and simulation examples that will help them develop their own methodologies to solve yet-to-be-posed problems. The book is written for students, engineers, and researchers grappling with problems that cannot be solved analytically. It could also be used as a textbook for a mathematical physics or engineering class. |
