Welcome to the TAMUK Physics Department
and Texas Electronic Coalition for Physics's
Home Page of an Internet-supported, college-credit, course
in introductory Electromagnetic Field Theory.
Please send comments and suggestions for improvement

Modification, Wed. Sept. 3: I thought the disconnects were fixed Thursday. They were actually not fully fixed until Tuesday, Sept. 2. The deadlines have therefore been further extended. See the Announcements page.

Modification, Thurs. August 28: TAMUK is gradually changing over its network management system. Tuesday afternoon, without advance notice, it was the physics building's turn to be switched. This turned out to have the side effect of disconnecting the department's server, which hosts all my webpages, until Thursday morning.

Accordingly, the due date for the self-introductions assignment below is pushed back from today (Thursday) at 5 to Monday at 5. That gives you not only another class day to make up for what was missed but also an entire holiday weekend if you need it. There is no regular class on Labor Day.

Assignment due August 28: As soon as practical, access and read the '08 Syllabus and the present form of the '08 Announcements and Assignments page. Then send me an email saying that you have done so, and with the rest of the assignment as described there. I will use the addresses from your emails for communication with the class, and I will distribute them to the class so you can discuss among yourselves, unless you indicate otherwise, such as providing an alternate address.

At present most of the pages linked to this coursee were created during a previous time this course was offered, and return links may take you to that course's pages rather than this page. In the near future I will be attempting to correct this, making the links such that they can readily accommodate regular expansion.
