Introduces Quantum Field Theory as the way to reconcile Quantum Mechanics with Relativity, emphasizing the need for a local field due to the impossibility of instantaneous interactions at a distance.
Covers special and general relativity, discussing Maxwell's equations, Lorentz symmetries, Minkowski space, and the influence of matter on space-time geometry.
Covers classical electrodynamics, emphasizing the importance of attending live sessions, the mathematical nature of the course, and upcoming topics on Maxwell equations and special relativity.
Compares symmetries in classical mechanics and Maxwell's equations, leading to the development of special relativity and exploring the concept of relative motion.
