As a note: the majority of these videos were recorded while using a textbook different from the one we are currently using. The content of the course is almost entirely the same, but the order has moved around a little and some symbols have slightly changed. For instantce, the videos will typically use a K (capitalized) to represent the Coulomb constant (also known as the electrostatic constant) while our current textbook uses a k (lower case).
