Miscellany on Magnetism
Here we provide a collection of media, readings and materials convering from fundamental magnetism to applications for divulgation at different levels, including higher education. For very advanced topics and higher education videos we also suggest visiting the IEEE tv channel of the IEEE Magnetics society here.
We welcome new contributions (contact here).
