Classical Electrodynamics - Selected Topics

I will use the rationalised Lorentz-Heaviside system throughout (explained in Section 1). I will also assume, as prerequisite, that you know (i) the ordinary noncovariant form of Maxwell�s equations; (ii) the basic postulates of the Special Theory of Relativity, and (iii) how to get the Lagrangian and the Hamiltonian of a particle. In fact, for a certain section, I have to use the Lagrangian formulation for a �eld, but probably you have already encountered that in your Classical Mechanics course. Even if you have not, the formulation is analogous.
