Physics 304,  Advanced Electricity and Magnetism I

Joseph Ross, Texas A&M University

Fall 2009

General course information:

The course syllabus is found at this link.
The required text, Introduction to Electrodynamics (Third Edition), by Griffiths, should be in the bookstores.
(In case you have an uncorrected 1999 3rd edition, here is the list of text corrections.)
This course covers approximately the material in the first 6 chapters in the text. The follow-on course Physics 305 is a continuation.

Problem sets (and a few other course handouts): can be found at the homework page.

In case of problems email me at .


A few useful links:

Well-done simulation of actual field of solenoid, among other things.
Here is an integration page from Mathematica.
Also, a related page on series expansions.
Description of Fourier Series from MathWorld.
A nice list of integration tables you can purchase.
Here is a site from which you can download the venerable Abramowitz and Stegun Handbook of Mathematical Functions.
Here is the Wikipedia page with a compact table showing the gradient, curl, etc. in curvilinear coordinate systems.
