This lecture introduces Maxwell's equations, the fundamental laws of electromagnetism describing the behavior of electric and magnetic fields in space and time. The instructor explains the differential form of the equations, involving vector fields like the electric field E and the magnetic flux B, and their relationships through divergence, curl, and time derivatives. Additional variables such as electric currents and material parameters are also discussed, highlighting the influence on the propagation of fields in different mediums.
