授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | This is a companion course to Electricity and Magnetism I, and offers practical exercises for mastering the concepts introduced in those lectures. Students enrolled in Electricity and Magnetism I are strongly advised to take this tutorial course. Students must have a good understanding of vector calculus. This course is not a substitute for a first course in vector calculus.
This course is a solid introduction to electrostatics and magnetostatics. Maxwell’s Equations are derived.
Students enrolled in Electricity and Magnetism I are strongly advised to take this tutorial 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.
Tutorials will held fortnightly. |

課外学習等（授業時間外学習の指示）
Study Load(Self-directed Learning Outside Course Hours) | | This course is part of your training to be a professional researcher. You are expected to revise the lecture notes, read and work through the textbook, and solve assignment problems outside lecture hours. You cannot learn physics by only attending lectures. The exams will consist of questions covering both lecture notes and assignments.
Students must be willing to work hard if they want to achieve a good, internationally competitive level.
Consultation with, or help from, the lecturer is available at anytime online using MS Teams. |

注意事項
Notice for Students | | Plagiarism (e.g. copying solutions that you have found on the Internet) is an act of academic dishonesty. Cheating in exams (e.g. having lecture notes, assignment solutions or online references open on your computer screen during an online exam) is a serious offence. Copying other people's solutions and claiming them as your own is also an act of academic dishonesty. Nagoya University has a strict policy towards academic dishonesty:
"Acts of academic dishonesty are prohibited during exams, for reports and assignments. If acts of academic dishonesty are discovered, you may be subject to discipline, which may affect your ability to graduate on time."
The punishment for serious breaches (such as cheating in an exam or repeated plagiarism despite a warning) is the loss of all grades from all subjects during the semester and cancellation of any scholarships received.
Even if your course is difficult and it is to be expected that you'll find it hard to finish assignments, it is far better that you submit an honest effort than take the dishonest path. Remember, to be on course for a "B" you only need to score over 70% in the assignments -- and if you paid attention in the tutorials, you would have seen nearly all the problems done for you (in my subjects, at least).
There's no excuse for cheating. |

履修の際のアドバイス
Advice | | 1. Students enrolled in Electricity and Magnetism I are strongly advised to take this tutorial course.
2. Students must be willing to work hard if they wish to achieve a good, internationally competitive level.
3. Unless a prior special arrangement is made with the lecturer, students must be familiar with vector calculus (div, grad, curl; line, surface, volume integrals; etc.) to take this course. Vector calculus is taught in Mathematical Physics II.
4. Students must read at least one of the textbooks regularly. |
