本課程是麻省理工學院在大學一年級下學期開設的物理課程之一，適合想學習具挑戰性、完整電磁學概論的學生，內容包括：電磁場和電磁勢；狹義相對論介紹；Maxwell 方程式的微分形式和積分形式；電介質和磁性材料的性質。除理論性的內容外，學生還要親自做一些電磁學的實驗。
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.
致謝
