'''''Field Theory for Engineers''''' is a 1961 textbook by [[Parry H Moon]] and [[Domina Eberle Spencer]], published by D. Van Nostrand Company. It is a comprehensive treatment of classical field theory — scalar, vector, and tensor fields, coordinate systems, and boundary-value problems — written for engineers and applied scientists. | |||

The book systematically develops the mathematics of physical fields and their application to electromagnetism and related engineering problems.

Field Theory for Engineers is a 1961 textbook by Parry H Moon and Domina Eberle Spencer, published by D. Van Nostrand Company. It is a comprehensive treatment of classical field theory — scalar, vector, and tensor fields, coordinate systems, and boundary-value problems — written for engineers and applied scientists.
Overview
The book systematically develops the mathematics of physical fields and their application to electromagnetism and related engineering problems. It is a companion to the authors' more mathematical Field Theory Handbook. Moon and Spencer were noted for advocating a re-examination of the conceptual foundations of electromagnetism, including a defence of a modified, neo-classical ("Gaussian"/Ampère) electrodynamics.
