PHYS 3327 - Advanced Electricity and Magnetism

(PBS-AS)

Fall. 4 credits.

Forbidden Overlap: Students may not receive credit for both PHYS 3323 and PHYS 3327.
Prerequisite: strong performance in PHYS 2217/PHYS 2218 or permission of instructor. Corequisite: AEP 4210 or appropriate mathematics course(s) that cover complex analysis, vector calculus, Fourier transforms and techniques for studying boundary value problems. Intended for students with exceptional backgrounds in physics/math. PHYS 3323 covers similar material while assuming less prior knowledge.
