Quick Description: You might have heard about Maxwell’s equations in Physics II. In PHYS 342, Maxwell’s equations come alive. We will go beyond problem solving, and work instead toward a fundamental understanding. How could these four little formulas possibly describe all of classical electricity and magnetism? Along the way you will gain a firm grounding in electrostatics, magnetostatics, and electrodynamics.
