Textbooks:
David J. Griffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics
(2nd Edition, Prentice-Hall, 1989)
Prerequisites:Physics 151--252, or Physics 231--232, and
Math 131, 132, and 221.
This course covers the subjects of classical static electricity and
magnetism. By the end of the term we will have introduced the concepts
needed to understand the general subject of electrodynamics. We will
obtain Maxwell's equations and demonstrate that light provides a solution
of the field equations. The course provides a number of practical examples
of solutions of partial differential equations.
Your comments, questions, suggestions, and inquiries about this
course are welcomed.
