This is the first semester of a two-semester course on classical electricity and magnetism, electromagnetic waves, special relativity, and electromagnetic radiation. The goal of the course is to present an in-depth account of classical electrodynamics, emphasizing the unity of electric and magnetic phenomena as well as their physical foundations.
Problem solving is stressed as a means of imparting physical understanding and intuition.
A secondary goal of the course is to develop selected topics in mathematical physics which are fundamental to exploring electrodynamics and other areas of physics. All Rights Reserved.
