I learned about electricity and magnetism
Electrostatics, Boundary Value Problems, Magnetostatics, and Magnetic Fields
weekly hw sets, he claimed to be relaxed about deadlines but he was not. two midterms, one final
I learned the foundational mathematical and theoretical concepts necessary to solve for electric fields in a variety of physical situations, many times done via solving for the potential of such a given situation first.
Important mathematical methods and concepts--boundary value problems (laplace), dirac delta functions. In depth overview of electrostatics and magnetostatics.
im so sorry for anyone who has this guy as their professor. The experience was uninspiring, he was dismissive of students questions, and frankly not a great teacher. The good news is he literally just regurgitates the textbook so you can survive the class by reading the textbook and going to the discussion sections (Haley Fica is great). Make friends with your classmates and do your best to get through it
Electrostatics (in vacuum and in matter), and magnetostatics (in vacuum and in matter), roughly corresponding to Griffiths ch.2-6
I learned about boundary value problems, electric and magnetic dipoles, how to use Cartesian, spherical, and cylindrical coordinates in solving problems, and other standards of electromagnetism.
Advanced electricity and magnetism, including Maxwell's Equations
I learned how to precisely define the electric field, potential, magnetic field, and magnetic vector potential of various static electric systems and systems with static current using concepts from multivariable calculus.
