Let's Learn About Electromagnetism!

Have you ever wondered how some of the technology we take for granted works? In this class we'll learn the basics of electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetism, and how harnessing their properties led to our modern technologies. Along the way we'll cover a bit of the history of important discoveries, see a few demos, and learn how to understand the underlying equations even if you don't consider yourself a "math nerd". If you have a healthy curiosity about science and engineering then this class is for you.
