Taking a somewhat traditional viewpoint, this book begins with a review of stationary fields. Then, in a novel departure from many texts on EM theory, the author develops many of the essential ideas in wave propagation by treating purely scalar problems in one, two, and three dimensions. The loss in generality is later recovered when some of the same problems are addressed when vector solutions of Maxwell's equations are required.
