Do problems 13.1.2 and 13.1.3 in Boas. After you've done 13.1.3, try to answer the following question:

In 13.1.3 you derived two apparently independent wave equations, one for E and one for B. Given what you know about electromagnetic waves (e.g., that E and B are perpendicular), how is it possible that these two equations are independent. Are they really independent? If not, where does the coupling of E and B come from?

Then do Snieder: 15.7, 15.8 (pages 243 - 250 in the PDF)

these are due Friday November 17(was previous 18, which is Saturday).
