Excerpt from Basic Research in Electromagnetic Theory: Final Report Our research has, of course, been intimately related to that of numerous other investigations in this country and elsewhere. The relationships and relevant bibliographies are in the individual reports. Prior to the undertaking of this work and concurrently with it our group did other work in electromagnetics and in related mathematical fields. In particular, some of the purely mathematical work begun under this contract was continued under a separate contract with the Office of Scientific Research, A.R.D.C. An account of this earlier and more recent work, along with a digest of past and current work under this contract as of May 1955, will be found in the publication of the Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory held at the University of Michigan in June 1955 and published in the Transactions of the Professional Group on Antennas and Propagation, I.R.E., July 1956, pp. 243-63. This publication was submitted as Report EM-93 under the contract. Though our primary effort under this contract has been to strengthen the science of electromagnetic theory we have been constantly aware of the advisability of attracting talented young people to this field and to train them for future professional work. A number of young people were supported in part during their graduate work by funds allotted to us under the contract and received doctoral degrees at New York University. Some of these people received further training through post-doctoral research. The names of these people and their current affiliations are: Alfred Leitner, Asso.
