Official Description
Fundamentals of Classical Physics II (25-230) and Lab (25-231)
A continuation of Phys. 25-120. Major topics include classical electricity, magnetism, electromagnetic waves, light and geometrical and physical optics.
Overview
An introduction to electromagnetism, circuit theory, and optics.
What actually happens
Electricity and magnetism, simply put, are weird and unintuitive. This has a few consequences. First, you cannot skip class all that much. The book is terrible, so unless you already know what's being discussed, lecture is fairly essential. On the up side, though, the professors seem to compensate for unintuitive material with a slower pace. So assuming you do go to class, it's rather easy to do well.
