Objectives:  to provide undergraduate students a solid understanding of classical electromagnetism and its applications in science and engineering.

Course Description: This course introduces the fundamentals of classical electromagnetism, with an emphasis on practical problem solving skills. Covered topics include vector analysis and numerical methods, electrostatics, extensions of Coulomb’s Law, Gauss’s Law, electric potential, conductance, dielectrics, capacitance, and energy. We also cover briefly introduce magnetostatics, Faraday’s law, the Biot–Savart Law, Ampere’s law, and Maxwell’s equations.
