Course Formula Sheet
Here is the Spring 2012 formula sheet that will be provided with every exam. Please note: when you are working old exams for practice, you may see old versions of the formula sheet with a somewhat different formula collection. The sheet linked above is the one you will have available, not the old versions. Also, the material covered on each "hour exam" (they are actually 90 minutes) is given on the Course Syllabus page, and may not always match what was done in the past.

PDFs of printed lecture slides
If you have a tablet PC and would like to take notes on an electronic copy of the lecture slides, you can find the PPT files here:
1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   10   11   12   13   14   15   16   17   18   19   20   21   22   23   24   25   26   27   28
These are the "barebones" versions that are available in hardcopy from the bookstore.

Gaussian Survival screencasts
Some extra help with applying Gauss' Law to the calculation of electric fields:
  1. Part 1: Just use the results
  2. Part 2: The magic interior of an empty shell
  3. Part 3: Superposition, as always
Sorry about the quality ... this is my first screencasting attempt. I fixed the audio quality after Part 1, but the audio-video sync is a bit off for all of them, not sure why. I hacked the audio tracks to reduce the problem, and it mostly worked. I hope they're understandable with a bit of mental compensation for the sync issue. I also had a part 4 all done, then Windows Crashed, Of Course.

Interactive Simulations of E&M
Various simulations are linked to from the lecture slides. They are great to play with so you can gain intuition about electromagnetic systems!
