The title is much broader than what's listed in the table of contents, which is primarily what you'd find in one course (algorithms) from a CS undergrad course of study. For an online text that covers similar stuff, see http:&#x2

Yes. This is a case when a picture (well, a GIF animation) is worth lots of words. Look at http://jimmahoney.net/pulse_acceleration_field_lines.gif . (I made this from the "Moving Charge" java physics applet at

You may be looking for us in the wrong places. I'm an MIT Physics PhD who aimed at teaching from early on. I agree that we're in the minority, but folks like us aren't typically looking for jobs at R1 universities but instead
