Prerequisites: A course in electromagnetism at the introductory level and a good knowledge of vectors and multivariate calculus.

Exams: There will be two exams during the semester (approximately in the 5th and 10th week) and a final, cumulative exam which will take place in the last class meeting. The final grade will be determined on the basis of these three exams; the first exam will account for 30 % of the course grade,  the second exam will account for 30 % of the course grade, the final exam will account for 40 % of the course grade.

Exam Policy: 

  1. All students are expected to appear on time for all exams.
  2. Any student absent from an exam will be given a grade of zero for the exam unless he provides a doctor’s note of explanation.
  3. Students will be allowed to prepare and use during the exam a handwritten, one-page letter format formula sheet.

Homework: Homework problems will be assigned during the semester. Homework assignments will not be graded. However, it is extremely important that students solve the homework problems and ask any problem-related question they might have to the instructor.
