| * In today's class, some discussion about the computer algorithm has seeped in. In the process, the two things (binary search (or bisection search) and quick sort) were sort of mixed up. Please check "DF" above to see a cleaner discussion of this. In particular, Nathan's comment on the quick sort algorithm speed ''was'' correct! Sorry about any confusion that you might have had! – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-02-01T11:22:27-0800)>>''-~ * Midterm 1 stats are out -- please check them out at [[Lecture+]].

Solutions to midterm 2 are available in Lecture+.
Welcome to the second part of Physics 5!
In this course, we will continue the exploration of the introductory physics. We will start with the simple harmonic oscillator. Then, we will study waves in general. This will lead to geometric optics and related topics. Lastly, we will come back to fluids and statics. If we somehow run out of time, we might leave some topics like fluids for reading only. I like to go through the simple harmonic oscillator and waves, slowly but surely, so that we cover these supremely important topics well enough.
