Nikola Tesla during a quite moment in his laboratory in Colorado Springs (circa 1900). Tesla's goal was to distribute electrical power globally by using large transformers (Tesla coils) to drive electrical oscillations in the Earth's atmosphere.

Welcome to Physics 3310, Principles of Electricity and Magnetism 1.

Have a look at the course syllabus and feel free to start reviewing topics in vector calculus in Chapter 1.1-1.3 of the text (Introduction to Electrodynamics 3rd Ed., by David J. Griffiths).

Special notes:

UPCOMING OFFICE HOURS: Friday, 4 PM, (in a Tutorial bay in the basement), Darren Tarshis will run a "3310 Tutorial".
Next Monday is a holiday, next Tues (4 PM, 11th floor) will be my regular office hours/hw session. (If you want to come a little earlier, you can stop by my office, F419)
Reading: Keep reviewing Chapters 1.1-1.3. We're covering 2.1 and 2.2 right now.
Written Homework: See the assignments link (always available on the upper left). The first homework is almost the same as the math pretest, so start with the pretest!
