Prerequisites by Topic:
  1. Analytical geometry.
  2. Vectors.
  3. Differential Calculus.
  4. Integral Calculus.
Corequisites by Topic:

Differential Equations.

Topics:
  1. Introduction and the MKS system of units (1 class).
  2. Vector Analysis (3 classes).
  3. Coulomb's law and electric field intensity (5 classes).
  4. Electric flux density, Gauss's law, and divergence (6 classes).
  5. Energy and potential (4 classes).
  6. Conductors, dielectrics, and capacitance (6 Classes).
  7. Static magnetic fields (5 Classes).
  8. Magnetic forces and materials (6 Classes).
  9. Time-varying fields and Maxwell's equations (4 Class).
