guitarphysics

yea I think the main issue is the creativity/ingenuity part and actually thinking out the problem but it is better to take a lot of time than to rush through things as important as EM

Usually, for me, understanding the chapters themselves is not the issue - that tends to go by fast. The long and laborious stuff comes when doing the problems.

Are you on summer break or something? I was thinking of working through Purcell again and would love a study buddy :)

No problem

Purcell has tougher problems that really reinforce the concepts but keep in mind that it is a first year text. It wont cover more advanced things, in particular the entire second half of Griffiths text. You need Griffiths for the more advanced material.

pretty good thanks for asking =D

Very nice man. I'm happy to see you surrounded by things you love :).

hows teh physics goin broski?

There isn't much to learn though. Check out Griffiths' EM book or Purcell's.

Don't think I can help you much there unfortunately. I learned vector calc from electromagnetism books lol.
