- acquire an overview of the use of ED in modern areas of physics

COURSE DESCRIPTION AND SYLLABUS
Lectures per weeks (15 weeks in total):
The Fall semester
1.-2. week - vector analysis (gradient, divergence, curl)
3.-4. week - electrostatics (Gauss law, scalar potential), electrostatics with conductors, energy in electrostatic fields
5. week - Laplace and Poisonn equation, method of images and multipole expansion
6.-7. week - electrostatics in the presence of dielectrics (atomic polarizability, polarization, field of a polarized object, dielectric displacement, susceptibility, macroscopic and microscopic fields, energy of electrostatic fields in the presence of dielectrics)
8.-9. week - magnetostatics (Biot-Savart law, Lorentz force, vector potential); magnetostatics in the presence of materials (paramagnetism, diamagnetism, ferromagnetism, auxiliary field H, magnetic permeability and susceptibility.
10. week - Faradey's law of induction, electromotive force, inductivity
11.-12. week - Maxwell equations, Poynting theorem, Poynting vector
13. week - electromagnetic waves (waves in vacuum, systems with dielectrics, reflection and refraction), model frequency dependent dielectric response
14. week - formulation of classical electrodynamics via scalar and vector potential
15. week - ED and Special Theory of Relativity, Einstein postulates, Lorentz transformations, and energy-momentum relation.
