Covers special and general relativity, discussing Maxwell's equations, Lorentz symmetries, Minkowski space, and the influence of matter on space-time geometry.
Compares symmetries in classical mechanics and Maxwell's equations, leading to the development of special relativity and exploring the concept of relative motion.
Covers classical electrodynamics, emphasizing the importance of attending live sessions, the mathematical nature of the course, and upcoming topics on Maxwell equations and special relativity.
Explores the transformation of Newton's second law in the context of Einstein's relativity and Lorentz transformations, discussing the equivalence of physical quantities in different inertial frames.
Explores Maxwell's equations in polarizable matter, including integral and differential forms, considerations for dielectric and magnetic materials, and the importance of a relativistic approach.
