PHY 712 -- Computational assignment

January 17, 2007

The purpose of this assignment is to complete an in-depth study an electrodynamic topic of interest to you. There will be no class during the week of Mar. 13-17 because of the March APS meeting. This will be a good time to work on this assignment. Each student should prepare a 20-30 minute talk about their project to share with the class. The talk should include:

  1. Motivation and discription of the project
  2. A discussion of the basic electrodynamic principles involved in the project
  3. A discussion of the main results
  4. Conclusions and outlook for additional work along these lines.
