本课程是麻省理工学院在大学一年级下学期开设的物理课程之一。它对电磁学的介绍是全面而富有挑战性的，适应了学生的需要。内容包括：电磁场和电磁势；狭义相对论介绍；麦克斯韦方程组的微分形式和积分形式；电介质和磁性材料的性质。除理论性的内容外，学生还要亲自做一些电磁学的实验。
Course 8.022 is one of several second-term freshman physics courses offered at MIT. It is geared towards students who are looking for a thorough and challenging introduction to electricity and magnetism. Topics covered include: Electric and magnetic field and potential; introduction to special relativity; Maxwell's equations, in both differential and integral form; and properties of dielectrics and magnetic materials. In addition to the theoretical subject matter, several experiments in electricity and magnetism are performed by the students in the laboratory.
致谢
Sciolla教授感谢麻省理工学院的Scott Hughes教授和Peter Fisher教授对这门课程的发展做出的贡献。曾教过这门课程的讲师，这门课程的教材，以及与课程8.022有关的其他麻省理工学院物理系的教职员都为课程做出了贡献，Sciolla教授同样向他们表示感谢。由于这些工作经历了多年的发展，不能只归功于某一个人。
Prof. Sciolla would like to acknowledge the contributions of MIT Professors Scott Hughes and Peter Fisher to the development of this course. She would also like to acknowledge that these course materials include contributions from past instructors, textbooks, and other members of the MIT Physics Department affiliated with course 8.022. Since the following works have evolved over a period of many years, no single source can be attributed.
