About the Course
This course is a complete integration of ELEC 211 and MATH 264. Lectures topics are interwoven such that mathematical concepts are taught at appropriate times to support and illuminate the electromagnetics topics. The course builds on what you have learned in 1st year physics (PHYS 157/8/9) but adds the framework of vector calculus – a key ingredient in taking the study of electromagnetics to the next level.
The majority of this course is dedicated to static problems (things not changing with time), though towards the end some slowly time-varying phenomena will be introduced. The material contained in this course is key to the further study of nearly all areas of electrical engineering.
Prerequisite:
ONE OF
MATH 263 – Differential Equations
MATH 253 – Ordinary Differential Equations
AND ONE OF
PHYS 108 – Enriched Physics II
PHYS 118 – Electricity, Light and Radiation
PHYS 158 – Introductory Physics for Engineers II
*note APSC 178 also accepted
Corequisite:
MATH 264 – Vector Calculus for Electrical Engineering
(MATH 264 will be taught with ELEC 211 in an integrated fashion; the two courses will share the 3 weekly hours allotted to them.)
