Lectures

PDF versions of Prof. Filippini's lectures will be linked here as we go.

The Spring 2020 lectures are largely adapted from lectures by Eugene Colla (EVC), who has taught this course for several years. We will also include supplementary material slides (mostly by Eugene) as needed.

Starting with the Hall Probe lab (i.e. after Spring Break), lecture videos will also be posted to MediaSpace, for the benefit of students who cannot attend lecture at our regular time.
