MERTON COLLEGE CLASSES AND TUTORIALS
Matthew Kunz
Paper A2 (2nd year)
Michaelmas Term 2010
| NOTES:
I highly recommend the textbook Introduction to Electrodynamics by David Griffiths, which (in the US at least) has quickly become a permanent fixture on every physics major's bookshelf. Not only is it remarkably readable, but it also contains pretty much every standard E&M problem you'll ever see. If you really want to learn E&M at the undergraduate level, work every problem in this book! I really can think of no better preparation for an exam. Also notable are his Quantum Mechanics and Elementary Particles textbooks, which have also become standards. A2: Course webpage |
