Students will utilize vector calculus to calculate static electric and magnetic fields, in vacuum and in materials. Students will use Laplace's equation to solve for static potentials. Students will apply equations of changing electric and magnetic fields culminating in a derivation of Maxwell's equations. Students will be able to describe the electromagnetic wave nature of light by applying Maxwell's equations for electric and magnetic fields in source-free regions. Prerequisite: MATH 3170 and PHYS 3120 or MATH 3160.
