Classical Electrodynamics: Maxwell Equations and Special Relativity

This lecture introduces the course of classical electrodynamics, emphasizing the importance of attending live sessions or watching on Zoom to keep up with the material. The instructor highlights the mathematical nature of the course, the essential role of exercises, and the upcoming topics on Maxwell equations and special relativity. The course structure, evaluation methods, and recommended study resources are also discussed, with an analogy comparing the course to a TV series with different 'seasons' representing key figures in physics history.
