Dr. Madey's PHYS 651

Recordings of University of Hawaii Physics Professor Dr. Madey's PHYS 651 class, Electrodynamics II. Some lectures are recorded in audio format (.amr), which I have found plays on Quicktime. Other lectures are recorded in video format, which will also play in Quicktime.

Graduate student Taylor Faucett has been transcribing Dr. Mady's handwritten handouts into digital versions. These files can be found at http://www.phys.hawaii.edu/~tfaucett/downloads.html.

Right click (or ctrl-click) the links below to download them. The video files should play in your browser. They are about 500 MB each, so keep that in mind if you choose to download them!
