Study

The discipline “Electrodynamics of continuous media” continues the course of the “Classical field theory” (microscopic classical electrodynamics) and concerns the theory of classical radiation of the electromagnetic waves and the electrodynamic processes developing in macroscopic matter states. Its importance is highlighted by various manifestations of the electromagnetism in nature and by a huge number of the associative innovative research towards implications in the modern technologies.  With make use of the microscopic theory of radiation the audience will be guided to the macroscopic Maxwell approach with starting from the original microscopic principles. The course gives a brief but consistent introduction to the main electrodynamic processes initiated by the interactions of external fields with different (dielectric, conductive etc.) media as inside the matter as near its surface

The attenders should have background in general physics and have been familiar with the advanced classical mechanics, based on Lagrange-Hamiltonian concept,  and have been experienced in math namely in calculus, theory of differential equations, and mathematical physics.
