I'm going to be taking a class on the fundamentals of applied electromagnetics. Looks as if we're going to cover things like Waves and Phasors, Transmission Lines, Vector analysis, and Electrostatics.

Anything in these topics that might be extra difficult? I have about 2weeks until the next term and nothing better to do.

converting coordinate systems is the worst thing in the class, the rest is pretty much like EnM in physics with more detail
power through varying materials can get tedious
if you do antenna arrays, that can be tedious
transmission line eqns are cool, you get a new respect for heaviside, dood was badass

>converting coordinate systems

Polar to Cartesian to exponential to sinusoidal kind of stuff?

Cartesian to spherical is the biggest pain in the ass - look at the book, it should have a page of conversion formulas
conceptually there wont be much new in the class

a lot more detail of things briefly mentioned in EnM
I refer to my applied EnM book a lot, dont get rid of it

Nope, that is all pretty simple shit
