Electromagnetic Theory is the study of electrical and magnetic fields. Mathematical representations of the laws of physics are used to solve problems in homework and on exams. The physical laws require the use of vector calculus.

Mathematica software is used to solve, graph, etc. functions in three dimension.

These courses must include requirements and learning activities that promote students' abilities to.

a. practice the correct application of mathematical or statistical models that are appropriate to their prerequisite knowledge of those areas; and

b. make proper use of modern mathematical or statistical methods appropriate to their level of prerequisite knowledge, to include, if statistics is used in a substantive way, the use of a statistical package with graphics capability when appropriate.

1. Grades will be based on homework assignments, hour exams, and the final exam. The points are distributed as follows:

Homework 100 pts.

2 Hour exams 200 pts

Final Exam 200 pts

2. Grades will be based on a curve of the scores.

3. There will be no make-up exams for the hour exams. Late homework is one half off.
