Lecture Notes

Latexed Lectures are available in full format for easier on screen reading, shown by the icon . They are also given reduced to two pages/side for more efficient printing, linked with . Slide presentations (Power-Point like) are available for viewing with , or in six slides per page with

At present, everything below the green band is from last year. Because we need to cover the rest of chapter 6 and chapter 7 before we begin, everything listed below there will be delayed or deleted.

I expect to cover most of chapters 8-16 of Jackson. Time will tell.
Sections skipped: 8.6; pp. 373-4; 8.11, 415-424, 432-449, 458-460, 470-499, 11.2, 12.6, 12.8, 12.9, 627-630, 13.5-7. 676-683, 686-693, 711-730. 16.3-16.6.

Supplementary Notes

• Vector Identities from cover of Jackson, or all on one sheet version.
• Notes on using indices correctly. view, print, This seems trivial, but I have seen many students have difficulties.
• Notes on totally antisymmetric tensors, or Levi-Civita symbols, ε_μνρ..., in 3-D Euclidean space: (view), (print), and in higher dimensional Euclidean or Minkowski space: (view), (print), including their use with matrices and determinants. The Levi-Civita symbol is also essential in curved spaces, but that is for another course.
• Notes on Bessel functions (view), (print), giving in particular the orthonormality properties.
• On differential forms. If you have not seen differential forms before, you might want to look at my notes from 507, pages 153-4 on 1-forms and pp 167-175 on higher k-forms, or Zapolsky's notes. They are discussed in advanced calculus texts, e.g. Buck, "Advanced Calculus".
