Summary
Unveiling the Secrets of Multipole Theory in Electromagnetism
This book offers an accessible introduction to the multifaceted world of multipole theory, encompassing classical, quantum, and symmetry perspectives. It showcases the theory’s remarkable achievements while also critically examining its inherent unphysical elements.
A key feature is the presentation of a transformative theoretical framework designed to eliminate these unphysical properties, leading to a more robus…

Critics Review
Raab and de Lange summarize a wealth of information that is not easily available elsewhere. Mathematical Reviews 2006.
... definitely carries the subject forward in a convincing way.'David Buckingham, University of Cambridge… clearly fills a gap … gives a clear and complete picture of the strengths and weaknesses of multipole theory.‘G. Rikken, National Pulsed Magnetic Field Laboratory, Toulouse, France... a rare example of a detailed analysis based on a quantum mechanical description. ... a very useful book.'E.O. Kamenetskii, Ben Gurion University of the Negev, IsraelA strong aspect of the book is indeed how it uses results from multipole theory to explain physics, from more simple properties such as electro- and magnetostatic forces and due to the multipole moments, to optical properties of different materials and physics of molecules.‘Stefan Jakobsson (Goteborg), Zentralblatt MATH Vol 1093
