763629S	Classical field theory, University of Oulu

In the examination there will be questions about the topics covered in
the lectures and in the exercises. 
The following list gives the sections in the lecture material, and where in the books this material can be found (in many cases the material of the lecture notes forms only part of the material in the quoted book sections). The references are to the following books

LL: L.D. Landau and E.M. Lifshitz, 
"The classical theory of fields", 4th ed.

FW: A.L. Fetter and J.D. Walecka, "Theoretical mechanics of particles
and continua" (1980)

G: H. Goldstein, Classical Mechanics (1950, 1980)

Those sections saying (ei 08) or (ei 05) are no more part of the course.
