We’ve finished all the essentials Final will cover Lectures 1 through 22 Last two lectures: Classical Field Theory Start with wave equations, similar to Physics 15c Do it with Lagrangian, and maybe with Hamiltonian Go into relativistic field theory Not enough time to discuss everything Let’s see how much we can do And take it easy!
