PHYS 671: Theoretical Electrodynamics II (Fall 2012)

08-AUG-2012: class time/room changed to 11:00 am in FW227

All, I have heard from all of you but one person so we will go ahead and move the class to T, Th from 11 to 12:15. I will therefore see you next Tuesday at 11 in Faraday West 227. The class web site is up (but still require some work); see http://nicadd.niu.edu/~piot/phys_671/index.html -- it will be updated by next week. Also this year, I would like to experience with making available a simulation code that can be used to gain insight, and extend what we will be studying (I will provide example that you could alter to work/explore various things). The commercial code, VORPAL (see http://www.txcorp.com/products/VORPAL/) will be made available to you via a download site for Linux, Mac and Windows with a free temporary license expiring at the end of the semester. Since this is a new addition to the class you are not required to use or do any homework with this code but could get extra credit if you wish to do so. I look forward to meeting all of you next week. All the best, -- Philippe.
