Physics 435 Advanced Electromagnetism I
Welcome to Physics 435
Physics 435 is the first semester of a year-long course in Classical Electromagnetism. Electromagnetism is more than just a way of computing electric and magnetic fields: it is the first field theory, the first gauge theory, and a deep dive into the way physical theories of nature are structured. The text is Introduction to Electrodynamics by David Griffiths.
