APEX Calculus-based Electromagnetism (APEX P05)：本课程结合推导和练习，由浅入深的帮助学员们理解和应用电磁场原理。在本课程之前，强烈建议学员先完成APEX Calculus-based Mechanics （P03），或者APEX Calculus (APEX M02) 的学习。本课程着重于加深电磁场的概念，建立矢量场模型。本课程采用网络授课共30小时，并希望同学们使用10-30小时左右时间完成课后作业。学员在完成本课程后建议参加AP Physics C, E&M考试，并且参加后续 APEX Training Camp For USAPhO (APEX P06)。
Course Description: APEX Calculus-based Electromagnetism (APEX P05) is a calculus-based, college-level physics course that explores topics such as electrostatics, magnetostatics, electrodynamics. This course will provide students with a fundamental understanding of electromagnetic phenomena, electronic circuits, and pave the way for students to study advanced topics such as electromagnetic waves and relativity.
Prerequisite: Students should have already been familiar with single variable calculus, and ideally have also learned multivariable calculus. For students who have not yet studied multivariable calculus, but have already studied single-variable calculus, please contact the APEX coordinator at least two months before class starts. APEX will provide guidance in studying the essential topics in multivariable calculus for P05.
Reference book: Halliday & Resnick, Fundamentals of Physics. or an equivalent textbook.
*We do not require students to use the book for our course. Instead, we strongly recommend students to take notes and take advantage of lecture slides, lecture recordings, homework assignments, homework solutions, exams and office hours to maximize their learning outcome.
