Introduction to Electromagnetic Theory

ABOUT THE COURSE

This course introduces students to handling electromagnetic theory using vector calculus. This enables students to handle problems that are more complicated than they are used to from their school days.  Due to general nature of the mathematics they learn in this course, what they learn here will help them in their future courses like fluid dynamics that use similar mathematics.

INTENDED AUDIENCE

1st & 2nd year B. Tech. in Civil, Mechanical, Aeorospace and B.Sc. Students.

COURSE INSTRUCTOR



Dr. Manoj Kumar Harbola joined the Department in 2000. He obtained his doctoral degree at the City University of New York, USA, working under the supervision of Prof. Viraht Sahni. Subsequently he carried out postdoctoral research at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, USA before joining the Centre for Advanced Technology, Indore as a Scientist.
He is a theoretical physicist , whose chief interest lies in Electronic Structure of Atoms, Molecules and Solids using Density Functional Methods.
