An introduction to electricity and magnetism with an emphasis on learning from practical examples and applications.
Winter 2010 Lecturer: David Politzer e-mail: politzer at theory.caltech
Paper copies of all handouts, e.g., course calendar, quizzes, homework solutions, etc., are available in Bridge, 1st floor hall between East and West, shortly after they've been distributed in recitation sections. All are also posted here, on-line, where there may also be occasionally posted links to yet more information of potential interest.
As per request of ASCIT and the BOC a few of years ago, here is a copy of their policies form, filled out for Ph 1 Prac at that time. The same comments apply to this current term. (You'll want page 2, too.) REMEMBER THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL QUIZ OR EXAM MAY HAVE INSTRUCTIONS WHICH OVERRIDE THESE.
Physics or logistical questions may be directed to Politzer via e-mail if you can't do it in person, e.g., before or after lecture, his office, etc. Questions and answers that might be of interest to other students will be posted here: Q&A (without identifying the questioner by name). (There's one there right now about earlier editions of the textbook.)
(Note that the html versions provided below are a bit funky, being the result of computer translations of the original handouts, but they're perfectly accurate; also, for most computer configurations, they load much faster than the alternatives.)
