When I was in grad school, Prof. Blas Cabrera had just published a paper on a measurement consistent with the possible observation of a magnetic monopole (on Valentine's day, 1982) . I also remember one year after his discovery, the following appeared on his office door:

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Isn't it time
For Monopole two?

Week 11 (Mar 31 - Apr 4):

This week we'll study the laws of Biot and Savart (the magnetic version of Coulomb's law) and Ampere (a magnetic "spin" on Gauss' law)

Special notes:

• New sims: A magnetic vector field simulator, vector3dm , or one from MIT
• Check out these links for simulations to show vector fields in 2D and 3D and another (emstatic) in 2D.
• OFFICE HOURS:
  Mon 4 PM, in the Tutorial bay in the basement (with Stephanie Chasteen)
  Tues (3:30-5 PM, 11th floor) (Exam week, I'll just be in my office)
  Friday, 4 PM, (in a Tutorial bay in the basement), Darren Tarshis runs his "3310 Tutorial". (If people are interested let me and/or Darren know, we can start this up again *after* the break)
  
  
• Reading: Chapter 5 this week
• Written Homework: Always due Wed at the start of class - see the assignments link (always available on the upper left).
