Announcements:
1/29 I have posted mid 1 information in the
schedule
2/16 I have posted solutions to hw1 and hw2
under schedule to help you prepare for Midterm 1 on Friday.
2/18 I have graded midterm1. Everyone did
very well. Here is a summary.
2/10 On Friday, March 11 we will meet in
256 MEB because of Engineering Open house.
MEB is the first university building to the west of Goodwin and Green
and is very close to Loomis.
2/25 I have posted information about midterm 2 under schedule.
3/14 All of the homework solutions relevant
to midterm 2 have been posted under schedule.
3/14 I believe our final exam is on Fri 5/13/2011 8:00-11:00am
in 136 Loomis
3/15 I posted the Lorentz Boost derivation used in lecture here
(and in schedule) Think of this as a
replacement for pages 11,12,13 of posted Rel-1 Notes
3/18 I have
graded midterm 2. The class did
superbly. Here
are the results.
3/27 Matthew Freickert discovered a bad typo
in HW 6. There is a minus sign error in question 1 b) in the equation where you
show –rho/epsilon_0 = 0 which disagrees w/ Griffiths and my lecture Notes. Here is the corrected version of 1 b) . Sorry for the mistake and I am glad Matthew
caught it!
4/22 I have
posted solutions to HW6-HW9 (relevant to midterm 3) under schedule. Here
is information about Midterm 3. We will go over the review problems on Monday’s lecture.
4/29 I have
graded midterm 3. Here are the results. The class did a great job as
usual. We will begin reviewing for the
final on Monday. The last homework is due on Wednesday.
5/14 I have
graded the final. Here are the results. The class did well as usual. I
hope to have letter grades by noon on Monday.
5/16 Letter
grades are now available. It was a
pleasure teaching you E&M! Best wishes, Jim
