Text: David J. Griffiths, Introduction to Electrodynamics BYU Bookstore
Homework: Written homework should be neat and orderly and with problem numbers, references to page numbers in the
book where the problems originate, and results clearly marked. When intermediate results from other sources or books,
such as integrals from Maple, etc., are used in the solution, the source and page number (if appropriate) should be
indicated. Homework should be readable, i.e., sprinkled with text to explain what you are doing and why. What you
hand in should be an explanation to the reader of how to solve the problem with care taken to demonstrate to the
reader that you do understand the basic principle and techniques that you are applying. I will instruct the reader to
reject homework that is not written clearly and precisely. You are encouraged to work together, but what you hand in
should be your own version and not a copy of someone else's work.
Homework is due at beginning of class on days indicated in the calendar (unless otherwise noted.) Problems are graded
on a 10 or 20 point scale (depending on length or difficulty.)

Exams will emphasize derivations of the major theorems of electrostatics and magnetism, the solution to
homework problems, and the examples in the book.
