Homework 1
Complex variable, Phasors, Divergence, Rotational, Coupling light to a fiber                                                                  26 Sept 2024
            Complementary information
                        Hint for question 4A
                        Complex numbers
                        Interesting story: How the Imaginary Numbers were invented 
                                            Its inventors assumed they were giving up the  connection between Mathematics and reality (by
                                            accepting areas of negative  values), however complex numbers are conceived now part of a deeper
                                            truth  (the Schrodinger Eq., which  describes quantum Mechanics. )
                        Representation of travelling harmonic waves in complex variable: PHASORS  
                        Video on total internal reflection (helpful for solving question 5)
      Note:  In case you have taken PH 411/511 ECE 598  "Introduction Quantum Mechanics", you may
                          opt to submit your graded HW-1 in that course   +   the new  solution to question #5.
