 ====== Motivating Ampere's Law ======
-This week, we are going to talk about a mathematical shortcut for finding magnetic fields, called Ampere's Law. We require highly symmetric magnetic fields to be able to solve Ampere's Law. Next week we will learn about Gauss's Law, the electric field equivalent of Ampere's Law.
+So far in this course, we have talked about the sources of electric fields, how electric fields are applied to circuits, and the sources of magnetic fields. Over the next two weeks, we are going to talk about two mathematical shortcuts for calculating the electric and magnetic fields: Gauss's Law and Ampere's Law. We'll start by talking about Ampere's Law, which is an alternative method for calculating the magnetic field. We require highly symmetric magnetic fields to be able to solve Ampere's Law. Next week we will learn about Gauss's Law, the electric field equivalent of Ampere's Law.
