Assigned Department Objectives

Teaching Method

Outline:
In this course, the first steps in electromagnetics will be taught, including the necessary mathematical techniques (vector calculations and calculus).
Style:
Classes will be taught in a lecture style, and there will also be assignments etc.
Liaison: Ogasawara
Notice:
Instead of learning each knowledge (the result of applying the law to a particular situation, how to solve the problem) by memorizing it individually, students should understand the laws that govern them (including being able to apply them to specific situations). To do it, if necessary, review the content learned during the previous years.
Students might earn extra points by submitting voluntary assignments.
The schedule of the midterm exam may be changed.
Students who miss 1/3 or more of classes will not be eligible for evaluation.
