Electrodynamics
These are notes I put together when I thought I'd be teaching this course, but ended up not. They're based in large part on those I took as a student.
I left some things out - like wave-guides (who cares). And I added a little more, like Least Action principle, as again, it would've been nice to know more
about that when I was taking Quantum Field Theory. I also spent a little more time trying to get a good understanding, from a thermodynamic perspective, the
formulas for energy stored in a dielectric/dimagnetic. Otherwise it's pretty standard. The mathematical rigor is at a little higher level than a standard
undergraduate treatment, but I really wanted to take the approach where we just start with Maxwell's equations, and derive everything we need from them.
