Friday's exam

You're ready. Get some sleep.

If you don't believe me, and want to cram anyway, I'd spend some time on Ch. 7, sections 2&3 in Griffiths, and then probably review the sections on Maxwell's equations (sans vector potential).

You will be rewarded if you can quickly recognize what to do with Maxwell's equations when (for instance) given an E field. You will also be rewarded if you have subjugated div, grad, and curl in spherical coordinates (formulas given).

Finally, you will be rewarded with bonus points if you remember what I said about tensors on Wednesday. Specifically, conductivity tensors.

PS - If you are unsure what a question means, or how to go about it tomorrow, don't hesitate to ask. More than likely, I will be willing to clarify the problem a bit or give you a hint to get you started. Also, show and turn in all your work, even if you think it illegible or unimportant. Partial credit is key.
