Inhaltsangabe

These are my personal lecture notes for the Spring 2011, University of Toronto, Relativistic Electrodynamics course (PHY450H1S).

This class was taught by Prof. Erich Poppitz, with Simon Freedman handling tutorials (which were excellent lecture style lessons).

Official course description:``Special Relativity, four-vector calculus and relativistic notation, the relativistic Maxwell's Equations, electromagnetic waves in vacuum and conducting and non-conducting materials, electromagnetic radiation from point charges and systems of charges.''

The text for the course was Landau and Lifshifz's "The Classical Theory of Fields", of which we used the first half.

This book contains a few things:

• My lecture notes, which followed the lectures, and my attempt to understand them. As a special bonus, I've added many spelling mistakes and grammar issues. I did not transcribe any of the material from Prof. Poppitz's notes that he left for us to read out of class.
• Some notes from reading of the text.
• Some assigned problems, at least the parts of them that I did not hand write. I have corrected some the errors after receiving grading feedback, and where I have not done so I at least recorded some of the grading comments as a reference. Not all the problems were graded, so I make no guarantees of correctness.
