Thoughts for the Homework:
The homework will be graded very generally.
That is, we will assign 10, 8, 6, 4, 2, and 0 as grades with the following guidelines:
10 (Well done to mostly done), 6 (about half of it is done), and 0 (not much is done or homework is not given).
Late homework are not allowed unless by permission from instructor by email.
Prerequisites:
It is expected that you know Matlab, Mathematica, or Maple, etc.
Decent math background in differential equations and complex numbers.
Undergraduate EM (Physics and ECE 107)
Knowledge of Maxwell Equations and Basic Waves.
Review Material:
Review Maxwell's Equations and a Wave Chapter in any available undergraduate textbook.
