EU Competition Enforcement and Human Rights
Arianna Andreangeli
Chapter 3: Access to the Evidence in Competition Proceedings as a 'Right of the Defence' between Professional Secrecy and 'Equality of Arms'
Arianna Andreangeli
INTRODUCTION The previous chapter discussed the Community rules governing the right to be heard before the Commission in antitrust and merger proceedings and assessed them in the light of the principles enshrined in Article 6(1) of the European Convention on Human Rights applicable to proceedings before public nonjudicial authorities having a 'civil' or 'criminal' character. The analysis illustrated the function of the right to be heard for the investigated undertakings, namely to participate meaningfully in the procedure to effectively present facts, evidence and arguments in their defence. In this context, being fully acquainted with the Commission's case via the Statement of Objections emerged as a key aspect of the investigated parties' rights. This chapter will address another element of the rights of the defence of the undertakings affected by competition proceedings, namely the right to have access to the Commission's file containing the evidence gathered in the course of the investigation with a view to refuting the contents of the allegations made against them in their written and oral submissions. Thereafter, the scope and the manner of exercise of this right will be examined in the light of the rules governing access to the evidence gathered by public authorities in the course of administrative proceedings relevant for the purposes of the ECHR.1 It will emerge that although the right of access to the Commission's file is in principle solidly established, there are several areas of variance vis-à-vis the Convention standards which could give rise to concern as regards...

Diocese bitterly disappointed with court decision on the running of schools
HONG KONG (SE): The diocese of Hong Kong expressed its disappointment at a ruling made in the Court of Final Appeal on October 13, which upheld the position of the government on the constitutionality of the Education (Amendment) Ordinance 2004, which the diocese sought to get overturned.
However, the diocese will obey the law and the statement adds, "… continue to abide by her commitment to serve the students with love and in accordance with Catholic beliefs and principles."
The diocese argued before the court on October 3 and 4 that anything less than absolute control would be detrimental to its mission of Catholic education.
In handing down a ruling at a judicial review in the Court of Appeal on February 3 last year, Frank Justice Stock, Wally Justice Yeung and Michael Justice Hartmann ruled that this would be at odds with government objective of creating transparency and accountability.
The diocese, however, said in its October 13 statement that it has always supported transparency and accountability, "but it objects to incorporating the school management committees being the only means to run schools."
The ordinance, which was passed on 8 July 2004, requires all government aided schools to establish Incorporated Management Committees as the sole governing body in the day-today running of schools, which the diocese claims would remove, or at least dilute its ability to formulate the mission and vision of the school.
In delivering the decision of the Court of Final Appeal, Kemal Justice Bokhary noted, "The challenge fails because the challenged legislation leaves religious organisations free to nominate a majority on the Incorporated Management Committees of aided schools which they sponsor."
In its statement, the diocese notes, "The Catholic diocese of Hong Kong maintains the view that there is no causal relationship between the Incorporated Management Committee (IMC) and school democratisation, and that forming the IMC makes it more difficult for the sponsoring body to achieve its vision and mission in education."
The ordinance requires that a representative from the staff, alumni and parents of a school be elected to each committee.
The remainder of members is to be made up of the principal and supervisor and a number of representatives appointed by the sponsoring body, to the extent that the elected representatives make up at least 40 per cent of the committee.
The diocese also objected to the ordinance as it does not specify what action can be taken if the committee fails in its responsibility to formulate its education policies according to the vision and mission set by the sponsoring body.
An educational advisor to the Anglican Church, which runs 80 aided schools in the territory, said that he too is disappointed with the ruling.
He was quoted by the South China Morning Post (October 14) as saying, "With the establishment of committees, there is a chance for people whose vision runs against our mission to join the board."
This has been the long standing objection to the ordinance voiced by the former bishop of Hong Kong, Joseph Cardinal Zen Ze-kiun. He has pointed out that the ordinance also changes the manner in which principals are appointed, as it takes this responsibility out of the hands of the sponsoring body.
Much of the discussion in the October 3 and 4 hearing revolved around what it means to run a school. The ordinance describes the duties of the sponsoring body as setting the vision and mission, and ensuring that the mission is carried out, "giving general directions to the IMC in the formulation of education policies of the school (and) overseeing the performance of the IMC."
For its part, the committee is responsible for "formulating education policies in the school in accordance with the vision and mission set by the sponsoring body… planning and managing financial and human resources… accounting to the permanent secretary and the sponsoring body… ensuring that the education… is promoted in a proper manner… and planning and self-improvement of the school."
The diocese claims that there is a loss of guarantee of priority on the part of the sponsoring body. However, the ruling in last year's judicial review stated that the diocese had overstated its former priority, as the director of education always had the last say in appointments of supervisors and was not duty bound to consult the sponsoring body.
The ruling also points out that since the constitution for each management committee is to be drawn up by the sponsoring body it is incumbent on the body to protect its interests in the constitution.
Hiring and firing of staff is also an issue, as the diocese objected to the removal of this power from the supervisor in favour of the committee, but the 2010 ruling claims that because the sponsoring body has a 60 per cent majority on the committee, it still maintains this right.
While the diocese centred its objection around the provision in the Basic Law that it could continue to run its schools according to the pre-handover practice, the Court of First Instance ruled in a judgement penned by Cheung that the management committee does not impinge upon this right.
He said that the over 50 per cent of Hong Kong schools run by religious organisations "could continue to be run according to whatever practice those religious organisations deemed appropriate," so long as due acknowledgement is made of "forward looking programmes based on existing legislation."
The ruling also stresses that the court decision is limited to the legality of the ordinance and does not concern itself with its educational merits.
Surveys done among schools that have already formed committees, show that they tend to have very little impact on the educational side of the school, but have proved useful on the management side of things.
They also reveal that most schools have found that incorporating the committees can be a hindrance to their work and wonder at the wisdom of continuing this practice.
In addition, Francis Chan Nai-kwok, from the Catholic Education Office, said that since his office has responsibility for over 300 schools, it is a formidable task to find three or four people for each school who are willing to volunteer their time and service in time to meet the government deadline.
He added that his office has been involved in on-going discussions over the past five years with the Education Bureau on the function of the committees and that the bureau is prepared to be flexible.
"It already knows what are some of the problems and shortcomings, and is prepared to be flexible in helping to iron out the difficulties that have already emerged," he told the Sunday Examiner.
The diocese for its part, while stating that the ordinance makes it more difficult for the sponsoring body to achieve its vision and mission in education, will continue to serve the Hong Kong community.

This Red headed Bitch, was the worst Undisputed Champion ever. Rock did us all a favor when, he took the title from the Hillbilly ass Biker-Hell's Angel wannabe, not to mention i'm suprised, Rock and Angle's back isn't broke from carrying him through that 3 way match, last summer...
Brock then had to carry him through back to back pay prer views, and basically worked 95% of the Hell in the Cell match.His ladder match with Jeff Hardy, was on e of the worse ladder matches i ever seen. Cena has carried him through the last 2 months. This guy is worthless
Mark Calloway, live up to your gimmick, and kill yourself....

He doesn't have to retire. He still puts on a hell of a show at his age. I agree the biker gimmick should change, back to his original phenom gimmick. He should do that before he retires.

Taker should retire. I've only enjoyed his feud with Cena because Cena is in it and cutting his CLASSIC promos. Taker is slow, he's boring, and his stupid walk on the ropes move annoys the piss out of me. It would be lame for him to go back to his deadman gimmick. Why? Because no one would buy it. He's already shown he's human. Sure people would mark out, but that's just for nostalgia, just like Hogan's wrinkled bitch retired ass. Taker has done a lot for the business, but just like Hogan, he needs to hang it up before he makes himself look even more of a fool. Hogan waited too long, and I would hate for Taker to wait any longer....

I have to disagree.Although I have seen many valid points in here about his gimmick being run dry and his in ring abilities undoubtedly have diminished over the years but retirement should be on the cards for another while. The Undertaker has been one of the few past generation superstars that has time and again delivered interesting storylines and good matches. As of late yes anyone can he see that he is running on empty but from a creative standpoint this is no fault of his own, he does not have creative control over his character and the way the WWE set up to utilise him in fueds so he cannot exactly be expected to go through the alteration routine if the writers don't make effort to address the issue in the first place. Need we be reminded that he was in fact the first top line superstar to give Brock Lesnar a serious rub to the top, naturally this would have came to pass regardless of his willingness because the team would have simply found someone else to fill that postion but apart from The Rock who we all know was leaving after SummerSlam anyway no one showed keen interest in creating more credibility for Lesnar. Then Taker was willing to have Nathan Jones by his side and essentially pushed him as far as he was capable of moving upward. if anything by now Taker is indeed filler material to the more "important" card draws in the WWE however one cannot fault his system of helping to raise up new talent in the company. Taker has been and still is a valuable asset the show and from what I understand he is also an excellent backstage motivator to green and injured superstars. With his badass gimmick in check you cannot help but want to at the very least see him with the WWE title one more time before his retirement. Not as quick witted as he was but he has still has a little left in the tank in my view.

Leaning on a long staff, he is protected from the cold by a turban, scarf, and a heavy overcoat, beneath which is a striped, brightly-colored cloak. The sun picks out details of the pockmarked terrain, with grass patches that have been closely cropped by grazing sheep—a common characteristic of the region. The pattern of stones in the left foreground suggests a seasonal rivulet. The image is by Russian photographer Sergei Mikhailovich Prokudin-Gorskii (1863–1944), who used a special color photography process to create a visual record of the Russian Empire in the early 20th century. Some of Prokudin-Gorskii's photographs date from about 1905, but the bulk of his work is from between 1909 and 1915, when, with the support of Tsar Nicholas II and the Ministry of Transportation, he undertook extended trips through many parts of the empire. Prokudin-Gorskii was particularly interested in recently acquired territories of the Russian Empire such as Turkestan (present-day Uzbekistan and neighboring states) in Central Asia, which he visited on a number of occasions, including two trips in 1911. Turkestan appealed to him not only for its Islamic architecture but also for scenes from traditional life.

Physical Description
Glass negative (presented as a digital color composite)
- Prokudin-Gorskii's photographic work survives primarily in two forms: 1,901 black-and-white triple-frame glass plate negatives, made with color separation filters, which Prokudin-Gorskii used to make color prints and lantern slides; and 12 albums of sepia-tone prints, made from the glass negatives, which Prokudin-Gorskii compiled as a record of his travels and studies. The Library of Congress purchased the glass plate negatives and the albums from the Prokudin-Gorskii family in 1948. In 2004, the Library of Congress had digital color composites made from all the surviving glass negatives using a software algorithm to automatically align the color components. As with most historical photographs, title and subject identifications are corrected and enhanced through new research.

Social media stars Diamond & Silk appeared before Congress on Thursday.While they were tesifying about censorship and discrimination practiced by Facebook, the duo went off.
The two went toe-to-toe with Rep. Hank Johnson (D-GA), who tore into the two women by claim they are "bashing Facebook" and making "a ton of money" while using it.
Diamond & Silk responded by saying they were just bringing the issue of conservatives being censored "to the light." They also claimed they have not made a ton of money due to this censorship. They claim they were demonetized for six months.
Rep. Johnson still contended, "You still selling merchandise."
Per Daily Wire:
The women then went off on the congressman, suggesting his indifference over the issue was rooted in partisanship. If they were liberal and Facebook had a conservative bias, they suggested, there would be hell to pay.
"Let me say this, here" started Diamond, whose real name is Lynette Hardaway. "If the shoe was on the other foot and Mark Zuckerberg was a conservative and we were liberals, all fences and all chains would have broke loose. You know it, and I know it. But what I find appalling is that these Democrats don't want to take up for our voice."
"We are African-American women. If illegal aliens can come over here and build businesses, why can't we?" Diamond added, after plugging their page on Facebook. "You don't have a right to silence my voice!" she said.
When Mr. Johnson again alluded to the fact that these women were already making enough money and seemingly brushing off the alleged censorship, Diamond scolded him for "shaming" them for making money.
"Rather than diamonds, you're seeking money," said Johnson.
"Well, you know what, if Facebook is a platform for you to make money, then so be it. Everybody else do it," Diamond retorted. "And don't make us feel guilty because we and other people that's built their brand page want to make money. We've spent plenty of money!"

As part of a prepared statement which was prepared by CBN News, the women slammed Facebook for their censorship:
"Facebook along with other social media sites have taken aggressive actions to silence conservative voices such as ourselves by deliberately restricting and weaponizing our page with algorithms that censored and suppress our free speech…We've also noticed how someone with a liberal point of view that spewed hate against the President can garner up to 19 million views with only 539,000 followers, yet we have 1.2 million followers and only received 13,000 views on our video."

Endometriosis increases ovarian cancer risk
By Stephen Adams
Thursday February 23 2012
WOMEN who suffer from endometriosis are at more than twice the risk of developing three common forms of ovarian cancer, according to new research.
Celeste Leigh Pearce from the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, lead author of the study, said the "breakthrough" could lead to screening programmes or risk-reduction surgery for higher-risk women.
She and her team found that endometriosis tripled a woman's lifetime risk of developing a type called clear cell ovarian cancer, from 1 in 500 to one in 180.
It also more than doubled the risk of two other types, called endometrioid and low-grade serous ovarian cancer, from one in 400 to one in 180.
The US researchers made their conclusions in The Lancet Oncology after looking at data from over 23,000 women, of whom almost 8,000 had invasive ovarian cancer.
Dr Paul Pharoah from Cambridge University said it was "well established" that having endometriosis increased a woman's lifetime risk of all types of ovarian cancer from about one in 50 to one in 40.
Prof Hani Gabra, director of the Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre at Imperial College London, described the study as "interesting".
"However, most women with endometriosis will not go on to develop ovarian cancer," he added.
"It is important that all women should be aware of the signs and symptoms of ovarian cancer and consult their GP if they are concerned."
About 10 per cent of women are thought to develop endometriosis, where womb lining tissue develops outside the uterus, although estimates vary. It can cause painful periods, while sex can hurt, and it can reduce fertility too.

HE4–a novel promising serum marker in the diagnosis of ovarian carcinoma.
2nd Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Semmelweis University, Budapest, Hungary. firstname.lastname@example.com
Biomarkers have a wide range of applications in the management of several cancers. To date serum markers have been the most extensively used biomarkers in everyday practice but few markers are elevated in preclinical or premalignant disease, limiting their importance for estimating risk or for screening. Human epididymis protein-4 (HE4) is a novel serum marker which is more sensitive in the prediction of risk of ovarian malignancy than CA125 alone in patients with a pelvic mass. HE4 in combination with CA125 appears to be an effective tool for the early detection of recurrence or monitoring the response to therapy. Risk of Ovarian Malignancy Algorithm, utilizing the dual marker combination of HE4 and CA125, can be used to stratify both postmenopausal and premenopausal women into high- and low-risk groups, allowing for an effective triage of women to appropriate institutions for their care. A review of HE4 and its feasibility as a novel diagnostic tool in the management of epithelial ovarian cancer is presented.

Reading this book reminded me of sitting before a fire wrapped in a robe, drinking a glass of wine and eating popcorn. It was easy and sweet. If you like romance, coincidences, travel, and robins–you will like this book.
Maya had been a resident in a hospital in New York when one of her patients died and she was blamed. She ran away and eventually found herself in Edinburgh, where a ring in an antique store called to her. The ring took her to Paris and Bern, where she explored the ring's history. That history involved medicine, women's rights, and even the Russian Revolution. It's a far-ranging story that moves back and forth between the present time and a hundred years in the past.
Sweet. Pleasant. An antidote to the stresses of present-day living.

Tyneside Safety Glass workers strike for a real pay rise
Mark Robertson, Unite Shop Steward, Tyneside Safety Glass
After a two week strike in October 2010 we had hoped Tyneside Safety Glass had learned a lesson.
At that time the union was on its knees, but a third year without a pay rise, along with deteriorating conditions, triggered a dispute that ended with a 2.5% rise. Union membership more than doubled.
But four years later, it appears the company has learned nothing. This year, after four rounds of negotiations leading us to believe there would be a rise, they announced a nil increase. We did a consultative ballot and the members rejected this by 101 votes to two!
We met the company again where they offered a two year deal of 1% this year and 2% next year. This was bad enough, but the deal was to be self-funding, meaning an extra ten minutes work a day. We rejected this and balloted for strike action. Our members responded magnificently with a majority of 80% for strike and 87% for action short of strike.
The company came back with a three year deal of 3% the first year, followed by 2%, then 2%, but this offer came with strings attached. Also, although there were improvements to the clocking in bonus and some minor improvements to lower rates in reality the members saw it as three years of pay cuts in real terms.
Less than a week before the strike was due to commence the company made a "final" offer. However, little had changed from the previous offer and the members rejected it by a whopping 94%, knowing it meant going on strike five days later.
The company claims to have no money for a pay rise for its employees, saying that the price of glass has risen by 24%, electric by 6-8%, and pension increases amounting to what would equate to 1% rise.
This didn't stop them giving a 14% pay rise to the highest paid director last year. This puts him on a salary which would take most of my members five years to earn! Last year they also paid over £750,000 from the company's account into the owners' trust fund.
Our members are not greedy, but we are not stupid either. We are proud of our union Unite and we attend union meetings in large numbers to debate and decide on our future. We want a one year deal, an above inflation above rise and an agreement on agency workers.
We demand what should be the right of all workers: decent pay and conditions, good health and safety standards and respect for our skills.

Snap Inc.'s stock fell below $5 per share Thursday, and hit its all time low of $4.85 Friday. The company went public last year at $17 per share and has gradually lost momentum since.
Why it matters: Despite dodging a bad press cycle that other data-driven ad companies faced, Snap has still failed to win over investors that are skeptical of the company's plan to grow its user base and business.

Today I want to talk about writing. I love the art of creating words on paper/computer. I also love the art of doing it correctly. That's what we're going to talk about today. Correct writing.
Watch your weasel words! If you see you're beginning a sentence with one certain word all the time, stop and think. I used "just" in almost every sentence when I first started writing. That was my weasel word. I stopped using it, but instead began using "so." I try not to use any word repeatedly, but I'm sure I do. That is what your editor is supposed to find. It is not good writing to begin each sentence with, "So."
Another big mistake is the construction of a sentence. I don't care what genre you're writing in, good writing always prevails. I'm reading a very good Speculative/Fantasy by Patrick Carr. I'd advise each and every Speculative/Fantasy writer to read any of his books. They are very well written. They are tightly written, no parts flailing about. That makes a good book and one the larger houses will look at.
Showing vs telling is one thing most new authors do. I did when I first started writing. Backstory can always be added later in the story. It doesn't need to be told up front. Start the story with anything but a lot of telling. That is the best way to keep your book from being published. If someone does publish it, it's the best way to keep from receiving good reviews and sales. Learn the craft!
We at Mantle Rock Publishing prefer to use curved quotation marks and apostrophes. We see a lot of straight ones. I will ask you to change them if the other editors haven't caught them before they get to me. We want all quotation marks and apostrophes to be the same in all of our books.
Read your manuscript over before you send it to anyone. Even when you do corrections, read what you've done. I don't want to receive a book for the last read that is full or mistakes. I want it to be as pristine as it can be. You have had possibly a year to write your book. Everything should be in it that you want to put in it, therefore, don't add sentence after sentence at the last reading. If you do add anything, do it in red so we will know what you've added and it can be edited.
Mantle Rock Publishing is well respected in the writing community. We do not put out sloppy books. We want our books to be clean and read well. We pride ourselves in what we do and how well our books look. Take your time to correct and polish your book. We can always change release dates. We don't like to, but sometimes we have to.

January 04, 2018 / GET OVER YOURSELF
January 04, 2018
The key to leadership is leading yourself first. Whether that's taking a class, reading a book or taking a hike to gain perspective, the proverb, "A reflection does not see itself." is true. It's vital to turn within to break patterns and discover new ways to unlock your own potential as a leader.
This TEDx talk is by Todd Dewett—a leading global educator, professional speaker and coach. He is the author of The Little Black Book of Leadership and Show Your Ink. He has spent his career working to build better leaders and teams and shares:
"The key to knowledge dissemination is less about technological tools and more about meaningful relationships. However, only when leaders get over themselves, embrace a little self-deprecation, stop projecting themselves onto others, and begin to see people as unique resources will they move others to open up and talk and share—and that's when great teams can emerge."
In the talk, Dewett shares the story of "Dave" the tale involves a happy hour and a canoe, resulting in a hilarious journey of self-discovery that transformed Dave's team. Watch the video for the full story and other nuggets on discovering the leader within.

"I have also a paper afloat, with an electromagnetic theory of light, which, till I am convinced of the contrary, I hold to be great guns."
Welcome to Physics 351! In this class we will study charges, currents, electric and magnetic fields, and their interactions. Much of the physics is expressed in a single, remarkable set of equations\begin{gather} \vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{E} = \frac{1}{\epsilon_{0}} \rho \vphantom{\frac{\partial\vec{B}}{\partial t}} \\ \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{E} + \frac{\partial\,\vec{B}}{\partial \,t} = 0 \\ \vec{\nabla} \cdot \vec{B} = 0 \vphantom{\frac{\partial\vec{B}}{\partial t}}\\ \vec{\nabla} \times \vec{B} - \mu_{0}\,\epsilon_{0}\,\frac{\partial\,\vec{E}}{\partial\,t} = \mu_{0}\,\vec{J} \end{gather}
This formulation of electromagnetism is due primarily to the Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell. His equations, in one form or another, describe phenomenon ranging from the propagation of light to the deflection of a compass needle by a magnetic field.
James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879)
The impact of Maxwell's equations extends well beyond electromagnetism: the Theory of Special Relativity is secreted away inside them, and they are the prototype for a unified description of the basic forces of Nature.

Please keep in mind that these dates are subject to change. In the past the course has met on TTh, but this semester it is moving to MWF. I may move some things around as a result, or I might decide to spend more or less time on a particular topic. I will always notify you about any changes I make to this schedule.
Homework is assigned each week (except for exam weeks) and collected the following week. Only some of the problems from each assignment will be graded. I won't tell you which ones, so you need to complete all the problems. Current and past assignments are listed below. Solutions are available for some (not all) problems, but I am no longer making them available for download — please stop by my office if you'd like to see the solutions for a particular assignment.
Assignment 12
The Poynting Vector, and Electromagnetic Waves
Due on Friday, December 6.
The last homework covers a few topics from chapters 8 (the Poynting vector) and 9 (electromagnetic waves). Solutions will be available after you turn it in on Friday, for review before the final exam on Monday, December 10.
Assignment 11
The Vector Potential, Magnetization
Due on Monday, November 25
This assignment covers calculations of the vector potential (including the multipole expansion), and the properties of materials with a permanent magnetization.
Assignment 10
Magnetostatics, Biot-Savart, and Ampère's Law
Due on Monday, November 11
This is a chance to practice calculating the magnetic field using the Biot-Savart law and Ampère's Law.
Assignment 9
Electric Fields in Matter
Due on Monday, November 4
This assignment covers dipoles, polarization, and the response of linear dielectric materials to electric fields..
Assignment 8
The Multipole Expansion
Due on Monday, October 28
This is the last assignment for Chapter 3, covering the sections on the Multipole Expansion of the potential.
Assignment 7
Separation of Variables
Due on Monday, October 21
Separation of variables is a very important technique for solving the Laplace and Poisson equations. It is often dramatically easier than evaluating the integrals for \(V\) and \(\vec{E}\).
Special Assignment
Post-Exam Problems
Complete by October 18
This optional assignment addresses problem areas on the first exam. If your grade on the exam was at a C- or below (a score of less than 52/70) and you demonstrate a command of the material on both questions, I will add a small amount of extra-credit to your exam score. Read the instructions carefully, and email me if you have any questions.
Assignment 6
Method of Images
Due on October 14
Using the "method of images" to determine the electric field due to charges near an ideal conductor.
Assignment 5
Electrostatic Potential Energy
Due on Monday, September 30
Homework 5 covers work and potential energy in electrostatics. There is also a bonus problem that investigates some common features of \(1/r^{2}\) forces.
Assignment 4
Electrostatic Potential
Due on Monday, September 23
This is the second homework for Chapter 2, covering the electrostatic potential, Gauss's Law, and the behavior of the electric field at surfaces where there is a charge density.
Assignment 3
Due on September 16
This is the first homework for Chapter 2, covering Coulomb integrals and Gauss's Law. The rules about using Mathematica and similar tools are stated at the top of the assignment. (They are not allowed, just like on the last assignment.)
Assignment 2
More Vector Analysis
Due on September 3
This assignment covers the rest of our Math Methods review. Read the instructions at the top of the page -- Mathematica and similar tools are not allowed!
Assignment 1
Review of Vector Analysis
Due on August 26
This assignment is due at the beginning of the first class. It is a review to get you up-to-speed on some aspects of vector analysis that we will frequently use in class.
Working with your classmates on these assignments is encouraged! But you should only hand in work that you've completed on your own. If your solution looks just like someone else's work then you need to go back and redo it from scratch. If you can't explain each step of your solution then you haven't completed the problem on your own. Remember: the only way to be ready for the exams is to do the homework yourself.
Never, ever hand in an assignment that has been copied from a solutions manual. You won't learn anything that way, and it will earn you a grade of zero for that assignment. If it happens more than once it will be reported to the Department Chair and the Dean. Consider yourself warned. Click here to see the College of Arts and Sciences Statement on Academic Integrity.
Grades in the course are primarily determined by homework assignments and exams. The weekly homework grades contribute 35% of your final grade in the class, and two exams (dates TBA) count 15% each. A cumulative final on Friday, December 16 (from 1:0-3:00 PM) is worth 30%. The remaining 5% depends on attendance and participation. Asking questions, taking advantage of office hours, and attending both lectures and discussion sections will earn you the full 5%. Check the pdf syllabus for more details.
The main text for the class is Introduction to Electrodynamics (4th Ed) by Griffiths. The tone of the book is casual and most students find it very accessible. When I was an undergraduate I used the the books by Wangsness and Purcell. Those texts might be useful if something in Griffiths isn't clear. A more advanced treatment is given in Jackson's Classical Electrodynamics, which is the text for practically every graduate E&M course.
- Introduction to Electrodynamics
David J. Griffiths
- Electromagnetic Fields
Roald K. Wangsness
- Electricity and Magnetism
Edward M. Purcell
- Classical Electrodynamics
J.D. Jackson
Griffiths' book has a very complete (for our purposes) discussion of vector calculus as it is used to describe electricity and magnetism. If you'd like to see additional discussions of this material, I recommend the math methods book by Boas, and also the book by Riley, Hobson, and Bence. For a more advanced treatment refer to Arfken and Weber.
- Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences
Mary L. Boas
- Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering
K.F. Riley, M.P. Hobson, and S.J. Bence
- Mathematical Methods for Physicists
George Arfken and Hans Weber
The Feynman Lectures on Physics, which include a few nice discussions about some of the things we'll talk about in class, are available online. There should also be a copy of the lectures in Isaac & Al's.
From time to time I may supplement the material from the book with my own notes, which will be posted below.
Where are the Magnetic Monopoles?
The link in the title will take you to the arXiv page for the article "Introduction to Magnetic Monopoles", by Dr. Arttu Rajantie. In class we stated that magnetic monopoles don't seem to exist in nature. If you're curious about that statement, this article may be of interest to you. Dr. Rajantie is a Reader in Theoretical Physics at Imperial College in London (the academic rank of "Reader" at a British university is roughly equivalent to "Professor" at an American university).
Fields and Lorentz Transformations
Two observers in different frames of reference will give different descriptions of charge and current densities. As we saw in class, this means they will also give different descriptions of the electric and magnetic fields produced by these sources. How does this work?
Why magnetic fields?
If all you know about is electrostatics and special relativity, you encounter paradoxes that can only be resolved by introducing a new field that exerts a force on moving charges.
Linear Dielectrics
A few comments about linear dielectrics, with an example of how to use Gauss's Law to find \(\vec{D}\) and then relate it to \(\vec{E}\) using \(\vec{D} = \epsilon_{0} \vec{E} + \vec{P}\).
The Multipole Expansion
A quick review of the Multipole Expansion, with a few example calculations.
Combining Separation of Variables and Coulomb Integrals
Coulomb integrals are hard to evaluate unless everything is very symmetric. However, we can combine them with what we've learned about separation of variables to produce a complete description of the potential in situations where we may not be able to fully evaluate the Coulomb integral itself. These notes explain the technique and give a few examples, including an (infinite Legendre series) expression for the potential due to a charged disk.
Separation of Variables for a Spherical Shell with Surface Charge
These notes provide a detailed discussion of an example we worked out in class: the potential inside and outside a spherical shell with the azimuthally symmetric surface charge density \(\sigma(\theta) = \sigma_{0} \cos\theta\). Please take a look, especially if you have questions about Assignment 7.
A Tricky Integral
One of the problems on Assignment 4 leads to an integral of the form \begin{gather} \int dx\,\sqrt{x^2 + \alpha^2} ~. \end{gather} Evaluating this integral requires the application of several different integration techniques, including changes of variables, trig substitutions, and the method of partial fractions.
Calculating the Electrostatic Potential
These notes review two calculations of the electrostatic potential: one obtained by integrating \(d\vec{l} \cdot \vec{E}\) for a known electric field, and the other by adding up the contributions \(dq(\vec{r}\,')/|\vec{r}-\vec{r}\,'|\) from a distribution of charge.
The Electrostatic Potential
These notes explain why the electric field has a scalar potential, and how to find it based on the distribution of charge. Please familiarize yourself with the results in these notes before Dr. Tangarife's lecture on Friday, September 14.
Using Gauss's Law
When a charge distribution is very symmetric, Gauss's Law can help us determine the electric field without having to set up and evaluate Coulomb integrals. These notes briefly review Gauss's Law, Gaussian surfaces, and how to find the electric field for a spherically symmetric distribution of charge.
Another Integral from Homework 2
I've gotten a few questions about an integral that shows up in problems 1 and 4 of Homework 2. It involves a trig substitution that might not be obvious -- read these notes for an explanation.
In class we worked out the electric field at a point above or below the center of a disk. These notes go through that calculation in detail, showing all the steps of setting up and evaluating the integral.
Some extra discussion of charge distributions, the transition from a collection of point charges to an infinite number of infinitesimal charges, and the Coulomb integrals for the electric field produced by line, surface, and volume charge densities.
The Helmholtz Theory of Vectors
These notes give a brief overview of the Helmholtz theory of vectors, and some important facts about vectors with vanishing divergence or curl. A more complete discussion is given in Appendix B of the text. Some of these ideas will be developed more fully in later chapters.
A quick review of a few integrals that show up again and again on the homework.
The Dirac delta can be a little tricky, so here are some notes that expand on our quick review in class.
Examples of Line, Surface, and Volume Integrals
A very quick and very rough review of line, surface, and volume integrals with several examples. The part on volume integrals isn't finished, but the stuff on line and surface integrals is there.
Orthogonal Coordinate Systems
Vector Calculus
A review of orthogonal coordinate systems and vector calculus for students who did not take Phys 301 (Math Methods) in the Spring 2019 semester.
This is a very basic review of line integrals -- what they are, how to evaluate them, etc. It may be useful if you're a little rusty on this topic. The file is big (about 22 MB) because of the various plots. Let me know if you find any typos or mistakes and I will post a corrected version.
E&M Stress Relief
Sometimes the E&M wears you out, and you need a picture of an adorable little kid doing physics to get you back on track. Not a problem.

Holding on to our functional roots when exploring new intellectual islands: A voyage through implicit cognition research
Hughes, S., Barnes-Holmes, D., Vahey, N. (2012). Holding on to our functional roots when exploring new intellectual islands: A voyage through implicit cognition research. Journal of Contextual Behavioral Science, 1, 17-38.
Throughout much of the past two decades, contextual behavioral science has been applied to a diverse spectrum of psychological phenomena. This intellectual voyage into uncharted waters has brought with it exciting new developments at the methodological and theoretical levels as well as increased contact with other philosophical frameworks such as mechanism. This expansion into new territories requires that the researcher carefully walk a tight-rope between different intellectual traditions—an activity that is subject to several challenges and dangers. In the following paper we provide a detailed map on how to navigate such pitfalls in the study of implicit cognition. We open with a comprehensive overview of the core assumptions and analytic strategies upon which the cognitive (mechanistic) and functional (contextual) traditions have been built. As we shall see, both traditions have sought to understand, predict, and in some cases influence, behavior using radically different conceptual, theoretical and methodological tools. The Relational Elaboration and Coherence (REC) model as well as the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP) are offered as examples of how researchers can explore the domain of implicit cognition from a purely functional perspective. Finally, we examine the possibility that although the cognitive and functional frameworks operate at two independent levels of analysis each may be mutually informed by the work of the other, to the benefit of both.

Saturday February 16th – 7:30pm to 11pm
English multi-instrumentalist/composer/singer/songwriter Bill Ryder-Jones began his music career as the lead guitarist for popular Hoylake-based psychedelic pop outfit The Coral, with whom he spent 12 years before embracing on a solo career.
Influenced by the likes of Ennio Morricone, Radiohead's Jonny Greenwood, and the pastoral English fold of the late Nick Drake, Ryder-Jones provided the score for the 2009 short film 'Leave Taking', which was directed by longtime friend Laurence Easeman.
The compositions made up the bulk of his debut EP, 'A Leave Taking Soundtrack', and were followed by further forays into film soundtracks for 'It's Natural to Be Afraid' (2010), 'Bed' (2011), and 'Piggy' (2012).
