This is the homepage for Physics 370, a one-semester (4 credit) introduction to electromagnetic theory. This course is being taught by Prof. Cabanela.

Course Bulletin Description:

Advanced study of electromagnetism including algebra and calculus of vectors, electrostatics in a vacuum and in dielectric materials, Maxwell's Equations and electromagnetic waves. Prerequisites: MATH 366, PHYS 201

(Quoting from Wikipedia) James Clerk Maxwell (1831 - 1879), was a Scottish mathematician and theoretical physicist. His most significant achievement was aggregating a set of equations in electricity, magnetism and inductance — Maxwell's equations — including an important modification of Ampère's Circuital Law. It was the most unified model of electromagnetism yet. It is famous for introducing to the physics community a detailed model of light as an electromagnetic phenomenon, building upon the earlier hypothesis advanced by Faraday.
