Conclusion and future work.This book is an introduction to the concept of symmetries in electromagnetism and explicit symmetry breaking. It begins with a brief background on the origin of the concept of symmetry and its meaning in fields such as architecture, mathematics and physics. Despite the extensive developments of symmetry in these fields, it has yet to be applied to the context of classical electromagnetism and related engineering applications. This book unravels the beauty and excitement of this area to scientists.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader.Dhiraj Sinha is a Research Fellow at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. He received his PhD from the University of Cambridge and was the CTO of Smantenna Ltd, where he worked on thin film antennas aimed at their integration at the chip level.
