2- Course aims :-
  1. This course aims to give a thorough grounding of Electrodynamics and to develop a knowledge and understanding of a wide range of electromagnetic wave phenomena by solving, with appropriate physical insight, Maxwell’s equations in particular circumstances, e.g. dielectrics, conducting media, waveguides, antenna behavior, etc.
  2. The aim of this course is to give a thorough grounding in the principles of the special theory of relativity and the motion of very tinny particles. We begin with the fundamental postulates underlying the theory and grade to the motion in four dimensions
