PHYSICS 3310 Lecture Notes


Below, I will add my lecture notes as we move along - I'll try to stay ahead! These are "chatty" summaries following (closely, but not exactly!) the text and course. It's an alternative, but not a replacement, for your book!
Let me know right away if you spot any serious typos in my notes! Thanks!

Video lectures: I found a really interesting set of Youtube videos here. I don't know the author (Jonathan Gardner) (he says he is not a professor) but I watched a few and found them really well done. If you want to see a "walkthrough" of various Griffiths example problems and text sections, this seems like it could be really helpful! It's in the format of very short "mini-lectures", and he organizes them (titles them) by sections in Griffiths. Let me know what you think. I cannot vouch for their accuracy, but what I've seen so far seemed ok
