Teaching

I have left up some of the material I prepared for classical mechanics and electrodynamics courses taught by Prof. Weise at the TUM, in case it's of use to someone.

Question Sheet Solutions

Given that the question sheets are substantially re-used in subsequent semesters, I've removed the worked solutions that were available here, to help you avoid the temptation to...ahem...short-cut the valuable learning process that struggling to solve the questions provides. (Believe it or not, the question sheets are not some obscure form of torture dreamed up by bitter and twisted physics professors).

If anyone involved in teaching the courses is interested in obtaining the solutions, drop me an email. I have scanned copies for about half the mechanics question sheets and all the electrodynamics question sheets.

Extra information sheets

Summation convention and δ-functions

Recommended books

These books complement those recommended in the lectures, rather than replacing them. I recommend them as alternative references written in a less formal style, for when you're confused by the more formal approach (or just want to read more):

Feynman Lectures vols. 1 and 2
Feynman, Leighton, Sands
Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering
Riley, Hobson, Bence

Vocabulary

I started making a list of physical and mathematical vocabulary in both English and German:
