Textbook: Griffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics, 3rd Ed. (1999)
Course Schedule:
The course will be scheduled around three major topics:
1. Electrostatics (Chapt. 2­4, ~6 weeks)
2. Magnetostatics (Chapt. 5­6, Faraday's Experiment, ~ 4 weeks)
3. Electromagnetism/Electrodynamics (Chapt. 7 and beyond, ~4 weeks)
There will be two in­class midterms, one each covering topics 1 and 2, and a comprehensive final exam. The exam dates will be announced later.
