Chapter 1: Introduction

It is assumed that the reader has had a good course in calculus, is familiar with vectors, and knows Newton’s laws. Apart from that, every effort will be made to keep the presentation of electricity and magnetism self-contained. The goal would be to know and understand the reviews spaced throughout the text. It is assumed that readers will attempt several of the problems from each chapter. It is also assumed that readers will participate in an introductory E&M lab as they go along, in order to obtain some familiarity with the phenomena under discussion.
