This comprehensive textbook is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students enrolled in courses on electromagnetism. It serves as a comprehensive guide to the fundamental concepts and laws of classical macroscopic electrodynamics, while also providing an introduction to generalized laws of modern electromagnetics. The text delves into the exploration of various paradoxes that arise in the modern theory of electromagnetism, offering insights into its intricate workings.

The reader is guided through the realm of electrodynamics, commencing with a foundational understanding of field analysis methods based on the solution of the wave equation. An example of the Huygens-Fresnel-Kirchhoff canonic principle is employed to illustrate the principles of emission physics. The representation of the strict electrodynamics task statement, encompassing Maxwell equations, boundary conditions, emission conditions, and the condition on the edge, is presented.

To enhance comprehension, the book introduces diverse classes of approximate boundary conditions, which simplify the understanding of process physics. The canonic Fresnel functions are introduced, along with their generalization to the case of anisotropic impedance. The description of free waves in closed waveguides, strip-slotted and edge-dielectric transmission lines, is provided, accompanied by numerous Mathcad programs to visually illustrate field patterns and their properties in various guiding structures.

The textbook is meticulously organized to cater to both self-study and classroom instruction, making it an invaluable resource for students seeking to deepen their knowledge in electromagnetism.
