ELECTRODYNAMICS

The course starts with a meeting on September 1, at 10:15 in FB41. There will be two meetings each week, on Mondays at 10 am and then either on Wednesdays or on Thursdays, in FB41. Actually the core of the teaching will be via problem solving with comments by the teacher, meaning that it is possible to follow the course at-a-distance. However, I strongly recommend that you attend the meetings at Albanova. The plan is that these meetings will include short lectures/seminars by participants in the course. See the course program for all this.

For supplementary reading at a somewhat lower lever than Jackson, the Feynman Lectures, volume II, are the best. Among my favourite textbooks, apart from Jackson, are Abraham and Becker, Panofsky and Phillips, and the recent one by Wald.

A detailed program for the course, including grading criteria etc, is here: Program . (The definition of "X-day" will be settled by a vote on September 1.)

The course will follow the lecture notes I make: My notes . (Updated August 18, 2025.) There are some handwritten notes on plane waves too.

Lukas König will be responsible for the exercise classes.
