A survey of electricity and magnetism that exploits the student’s growing mathematical capability in order to explore the electromagnetic properties of of matter and vacuum and their consequences. Topics include electro/magnetostatics, boundary value problems, dielectric and magnetic media, Maxwell’s equations, electromagnetic waves, including guided waves, and sources and sinks of electromagnetic radiation. At the level of Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths.
