Where $\epsilon$ is the electric permittivity and $\mu$ is the magnetic permeability. Where $\epsilon$ is the electric permittivity and $\mu$ is the magnetic permeability. In prose I will sometimes refer to both $D$ and $E$ as the electic field and $B$ and $H$ as the magnetic field so don't get tripped up on that. Technically $D$ is the electric displacement field and $B$ is magnetic flux density.
There are two ways to look at Maxwell's Equations: derivative form and integral form. Both can be useful however I think the derivative form tends to be a more concise way to look at things so we'll start with that.

Don't worry about understanding all of these yet, we'll go through them one at a time. Don't worry about understanding all of these yet, we'll go through them one at a time.
