PHYS 436 :: Physics Illinois :: University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

Course Description

Physics 435 and 436 presents a systematic development of electrodynamics, including Maxwell's equations, electrostatics and magnetostatics, boundary value problems, fields in matter, and electromagnetic waves. The second semester (PHYS 436) covers electromagnetic waves, conservation laws, potentials and gauge invariance, radiation, and relativistic electrodynamics.

Course Information: 3 undergraduate hours / 3 graduate hours

Prerequisite: PHYS 435
Note: Math 241 (vector calculus) is much more important in E&M than in mechanics.

Class Scheduling Requirement: Register for the lecture and one of the discussion sections (D0/D1/D2).
