授業の目的　【日本語】

This course is a solid introduction to electrostatics and magnetostatics, as well as elementary electro- and magnetodynamics. It covers the first half of the textbook by Griffiths.

NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL EXCHANGE STUDENTS: this course assumes knowledge of vector calculus. We do not have time to reteach the basics that Nagoya University students have already learned. You must have a good grasp of vector calculus to take this course.

By the end of the course, students will have gained an intuitive as well as quantitative understanding of the basic physical principles of electromagnetism, as well as familiarity -- and perhaps mastery -- of some of the fundamental mathematical methods required to solve problems in physics, engineering and applied mathematics.

This course has dual pedagogical aims: 1) to convey physical principles; 2) to improve students’ technical ability ? i.e. ability to express physical intuition in mathematical terms and ability to solve problems.

授業の内容や構成

Participants are expected to prepare solutions to problems relating to the lecture course content, which are handed out by the EM1 lecturer, and present their solutions on the whiteboard during the tutorial course (Physics Tutorial IIa).
