Just finished a 38 page derivation. AMA.

I recently (two weeks ago) started grad school in earnest. I’m doing my MS in Electrical Engineering, focusing on electromagnetics stuff.

As a first exercise with the intention of developing a greater understanding of EM (a greater understanding than I would have garnered from two undergraduate-level course and one graduate-level course at least) I was given Maxwell’s Equations and told to derive equations for TE and TM mode equations in a rectangular waveguide. Fun! It’s a real good thing I love math.

Time for the weekend.
