Homework Assignment #7 (due Tuesday 6/1/04) Jackson 11.14 (a,b only), 11.20, 11.22.  (solution)
The definition of the dual field--strength tensor (needed for problem 11.14) is given in Jackson eqn. 11.140.
As a warm-up, prove that Jackson equation 11.142 yields the homogeneous Maxwell equations listed just above it.
