| * In today's class, the discussion on $\delta S$ when it is related to the end point variations of $\delta t$ and $\delta \vec r$ did not go so well. I apologize. That is an important topic, although it may be optional for this level. Here is a [[Lecture+#Note|cleaned up and clarified version of that discussion]]!—~-''<<DateTime(2015-06-02T12:39:12-0700)>>''-~ |
Welcome to Phys 110B, 2015!
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.
