This page contains links for an introductory graduate course in Electrodynamics. For a more complete description of the course, please see click on the graphic embedded in this text to access the main course directory. All of the original material is copyrighted to prevent others from publishing it for profit. However, please feel free to use and distribute these course materials (profit free) to your students. Also, email submissions of solutions and revisions will be gladly accepted and acknowledged on this site (especially those involving computer symbolic manipulation, simulations, and visualization). Notes are available below for all three quarters. However, homework assignments and solutions are only available for chapters 1-9, and 13 -14 of (although some solutions for chapters 11 and 12, are available). Homework and exam solutions will only be posted for a few weeks after their due dates; however, they are available by request to Professors at other Universities (please send a regular-mail request written on letterhead to Mark Jarrell, Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge LA 70803. Include your email address, and I will send you what I have).


A http subdirectory for each chapter can be accessed by clicking on the corresponding graphic. Each of these subdirectories contains at least four files:


  1. chap#.ps, notes for the chapter # (Postscript printer file)

  2. chap#.pdf, a PDF version of the notes (with embedded fonts)

  3. chap#.tex, a LaTeX version of chapter # notes (you will also need the latex macros, defs.tex)

  4. chap#.uu, a self-unpacking uuencoded file containing the corresponding postscript figures
