Phys 513 /ECE 513:
Applied Electromagnetic Theory
Fall 2000
Last Modified: August 2000

Welcome to the home page for Physics 513 / ECE 513 offered by the Department of Physics and Astronomy at George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia. This is a graduate level class covering classical electromagnetic theory with applications. The topics covered include electrostatics, magnetic fields and materials, electromagnetic wave propagation, waveguides, transmission lines, and antennas.

This course covers various applications of electromagnetic theory, and relies primarily on sovling problems analytically. Grading will be based primarily on homework and class participation.

Prerequisite: Phys 305, 306, and Math 313, 314, or equivalent
