This third edition of the principal text on the finite element method for electrical engineers and electronics specialists presents the method in a mathematically undemanding style, accessible to undergraduates who may be encountering it for the first time. Like the earlier editions, it begins by deriving finite elements for the simplest familiar potential fields, and then formulates finite elements for a wide range of applied electromagnetics problems. These include wave propagation, diffusion, and static fields; open-boundary problems and nonlinear materials; axisymmetric, planar and fully three-dimensional geometries; and scalar and vector fields. A wide selection of demonstration programs allows the reader to follow the practical use of the methods. Besides providing all that is needed for the beginning undergraduate student, this textbook is also a valuable reference text for professional engineers and research students.

Summary: Hard and Heavy but good
Comment: I think that the authors don't fill in their matrices or prove some of the results may be my worst fault for this book.
The book is well written and contains most of the formulas and Fortran program you need to do this kind of analysis.
I would have like more complex plane triangles and some more higher dimensional "triangulations".
But the text has been an eye opener for me and I have a lot of study to get the results where I can really understand them.
This text is not an easy one, but the subject even over simplified would still be a very hard one. I think this is an advanced graduate text
and would give most undergrads outside of MIT nightmares.

Summary: Removal of the section on waveguide discontinuity analysis
Comment: The third edition of FINITE ELEMENTS FOR ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS by Silvester & Ferrari is an excellent book. However, I am quite disappointed with the removal of the section on scattering matrix calculation and waveguide discontinuity analysis which existed (Ch.9, section 4) in the second edition of the book.
