Discussions, assignments, project work
Arviointiperusteet
Active participation to the course is expected. The final grade is based on a final project (50 %), and problem set (50 %).To pass the course students need to have a final score of 50 %.
Osaamistavoitteet
At the end of this course, students will be able to to derive the basic equations of electrodynamics in relativistically invariant language. They have acquired a broad conceptual understanding of the basic ideas behind the Maxwell equations, Lorentz force laws and its description in terms of differential geometry as well as knowledge of electrodynamics in a modern conceptual context (gauge theory and gravity) and learned new mathematical tools for its description.
Esitietojen kuvaus
Before enrolling for the course, students are expected to have a good knowledge of vector calculus and a standard knowledge on electromagnetism.
