 <<fl(W)>>elcome to the 2nd part of Classical Electrodynamics! Many of you are familiar to me from my past teaching, but some of you are new to me. I am glad to see ''everyone''! I extend my best wishes for your effective efforts in this course, and I hope that you will have fun while learning by challening yourself.

What is this course about?

Classical electrodynamics is all about the light. And electrons and other charged particles... In this course, we will start with Maxwell's equations—something of a monument in the history of physics—and study some conclusions that we can draw from them. By doing so, we will learn about the light, or the electronmagnetic field, and its interaction with charged particles within the realm of “classical” physics. We will learn conservation principles, waves, radiation, and end with the special relativistic view of light.
