Description

This is the first semester of the full-year graduate course on classical electrodynamics theory (Physics 505/506). This semester mainly focuses on (1) electrostatics boundary value problems, (2) magnetostatics, and, (3) Maxwell's equations and plane electromagnetic waves. Part of the emphasis of this course is on developing mathematical techniques that are useful throughout physics and not just for electromagnetism.

Course Requirements:

Grades will be determined based on weekly homework assignments, one midterm and a comprehensive final exam.

Intended Audience:

Incoming graduate students and those wishing to develop a rigorous approach to classical electrodynamics.
