The subject deals with analysis of electromagnetic field distribution through both air and other environment. It offers a view deep inside to popular numerical methods as Finite Difference Method, Boundary Element Method and Finite Element Method. Handling the software is obvious nowadays; nevertheless, the mayor attention is paid to understanding the mathematical background of the used apparatus and understanding the physical principles of the solved tasks in symbiosis to particular used software.
