PHYS 3327 - Advanced Electricity and Magnetism

(PBS)

Fall. 4 credits.

Forbidden Overlap: Students may not receive credit for both PHYS 3323 and PHYS 3327. Prerequisites: PHYS 2217-PHYS 2218 or permission of instructor. Corequisite: AEP 3210 or appropriate mathematics course(s). Intended for students with exceptional backgrounds in physics/math. PHYS 3323 covers similar material while assuming less prior knowledge. Makes extensive use of vector calculus, and some use of Fourier transforms and complex variables.
