- Understand one- and several-variable differential and integral calculus
- Use vector spaces, linear applications and the techniques associated with them
- Understand basic algebraic structures
- Manipulate previously acquired knowledge that appears in a question
- Give examples and counterexamples for definitions, properties, theorems, etc.
- Understand and produce strict mathematical reasoning
- Write clearly and concisely
- Use mathematical vocabulary and formalism appropriately
- Make sense of formal expressions
- Rely on a picture to illustrate a concept, rationale, etc.
- Collaborate on mathematical subjects
- Present mathematical results orally and in a structured manner
- Demonstrate independence and their ability to work in teams.

- Adapt an argument to a similar situation
- Use knowledge from different fields to address issues
Learning Outcomes of UE
By the end of the course, the student should be able to master Maxwell's equations in their manifestly and non-manifestly relativistic covariant forms. He/she should be able to solve them in simple situations, by using the various mathematical tools introduced, like vector calculus, Green's functions and distributions, separation of variables, etc.
Content of UE
Maxwell equations in non relativistic and relativistic form. Lorentz and gauge invariance. Plane waves. Electrostatic. Magnetostatic. Oscillating dipole and radiation. Retarded potential. Energy momentum tensor. Electromotive force, induced currents and Faraday law, Liénard-Wiechert potential.
Prior Experience
General Physics, differential and integral calculus, linear algebra, special relativity and tensor calculus, elementary geometry.
