Introduction to the Locally Corrected Nystrom Method

Andrew F. Peterson received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign in 1982, 1983, and 1986 respectively. Since 1989, he has been a member of the faculty of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he is now Professor and Associate Chair for Faculty Development. He teaches electromagnetic field theory and computational electromagnetics, and conducts research in the development of computational techniques for electromagnetic scattering, microwave devices, and electronic packaging applications.
