CourseDescription:ElectricityandMagnetismisaone-semester,calculus-based,college-level
physics course, especially appropriate for students planning to specialize or major in physical
science or engineering. The course explores topics such as electrostatics; conductors,
capacitors, and dielectrics; electric circuits; magnetic fields; and electromagnetism.

Biography:LarryBrowninghasbeenteachingphysicsatSouthDakotaStateUniversity(SDSU)
since 1990 and before that at Marquette University (1983-1990). He earned a B.S. degree in
Electrical Engineering from Syracuse University and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Purdue
University in Physics. Over the years he has been instrumental in developing over 20
Eisenhower/NCLB professional development workshops for middle and high school teachers,
has been a part of the American Association of Physics Teachers’ Rural Physics Teaching
Resource Agents (Rural-PTRA), as well as serving as an AP Consultant in Physics. He also
teaches the physics portion of the 7-12 Science Methods course at SDSU. When he is not
discussing pressure and leverage with T-Rexes near Faith, SD, he enjoys putting on science
