ENGS 342/PHYS 342 - Electricity and Magnetism

Course Description
A course in classical electromagnetism with the development and application of Maxwell's equations as the central focus. Topics include electromagnetic fields, boundary value problems, dielectric and magnetic materials, radiation, and energy and momentum of the magnetic field.

Course Objectives
•  To expand your knowledge of electricity and magnetism by working mathematically challenging problems and by covering concepts in greater detail. [1,2]
•  To further increase your skills by using Maple to solve difficult problems and to verify your own algebra as you seek solutions to problems. [3]
•  To gain an appreciation for the unity of electricity and magnetism by discerning the full extent of Maxwell's equations [2]
