    2D Laplace equation in polar coordinates with wedge boundary conditions

    Thanks, I agree that would make things easier. Is my diagram correct, though? and is everything else correct?

    Electrodynamics: Vector Calculus Question

    Could you please cite a page number or section from an online page where that distinction is fully explained? I thought I understood it what you meant but I am still getting tripped up.

    Electrodynamics: Vector Calculus Question

    Why are the red circled Del operators not combining to become 'Del-squared' to cancel out the second term to give a net result of 0?

    Finding the electrostatic potential of a square sheet.

    Hi TSny, Thanks for your suggestion! The thought about adding the 'y' did cross my mind many times but I was under the impression that since the dx slices, when integrated from x=-1/2 to x=1/2, accounted for the entire surface of the square, hence, making it unnecessary to...

    Finding the electrostatic potential of a square sheet.

    Homework Statement Consider a uniform surface charge density σ on a square of unit area. (a) Compute the electrostatic potential Φ along the line normal to the center of the square. My current attempt at a solution (image attached) is either incomplete or is simply wrong but I am unable to...

    Math topics to brush up on before graduate electrodynamics

    I am prepping for my spring Graduate E/M I course (official textbook: Jackson) and will like to know what math topics in PDE/Math-Methods/ODE/Linear-Algebra to brush up on or hone down on as I prep? Which topics are most frequently needed for Graduate Electrodynamics I?

    MATLAB How do I get Matlab to show the first 10 terms of a series?

    Quick follow up question: Is there a way to make MATLAB display the output in a more readable format like the way like in the attached picture?

    MATLAB How do I get Matlab to show the first 10 terms of a series?

    I have attached a picture of what I want Matlab to do. I basically want Matlab to show the list of independent variable 'n' and then another column showing the terms when n=0...10. Some of the outputs are in variable form and others in numerical form. My attempt so far is stated below. I have no...
