• Course Description:
    Prerequisites: 01:750:227 or 272 or permission of instructor; 01:640:CALC3.

    This is the first semester of a two-part intermediate course (Physics 385 & 386) for physics and astrophysics majors and others who wish a thorough discussion of the fundamental laws of electromagnetism, including electric and magnetic fields and potentials, conductors, dielectrics and capacitors, inductance, Maxwell's equations, and electromagnetic radiation. It is intended as an integral part of the sequence for physics and astrophysics majors who intend to pursue PhD studies. The emphasis will be on the physical concepts and mathematical methods for describing electromagnetism, with less attention to practical applications.
