Prof. Zwiebach's 30-minute workout
A few years ago, Prof. Zwiebach made this list of 30 elementary computations that an 8.022 student should be able to perform within "one minute", or maybe a few. I hope this helps in your study.Announced on 14 December 2011 6:48 a.m. by Joshua Nathan Winn
Final exam info, and Radiation applet
As I said in class, the final exam will NOT cover Lectures 22-24 (Lorentz transformations, field transformations, radiation from an accelerating charge). It will cover all material up to and including Lecture 21 (plane waves, Poynting's theorem).The cover sheet is now available.
Also, here is a link to the applet I showed today, demonstrating the electric field lines from an accelerating charge.
