How do you git gud at E&M?

I don't know why but I struggle with this more than any other physics course.

Start with the first one (simpler than the last two) and find the derivation for that equation. Go through that derivation line by line ann ask yourself at each step: what is the physical meaning or interpretation of what you read.

Sure, the first one relates the electric field radiating out from a charge to the strength of that charge. True understanding takes a little more.

Can you be more specific about the trouble you're having?

Take vector and complex analysis course first and it becomes easy.

Not true. The math is the easy part.

>analysis
No, take a vector calculus course and differential equations II, analysis would probably make it more difficult for you.

That is becouse you are truly stupid. Consider quitting.

Watch Walter lewin's lectures, they give great intuition, but make sure you understand the math although you probably already know it's the easy part

you wot m8
>>
the book "student's guide to maxwell's equations" is pretty good
>>
this is what you need
>single-variable calculus (+Taylor series)
>vectors
>differential equations
>classical mechanics
>multi-variable calculus (again, Taylor series)
>vector calculus (Green's Theorem and the rest)
>partial differential equations

THEN you can follow these derivations
it just looks like gibberish without the proper background in math and physics
