Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!

  • Reading quiz is up. I recommend you to follow the second link from the bottom at Lecture+. – 10:14AM, Jan 13, 2013

  • The first homework (Homework 1) is up! Be sure to read this before doing your homework. The actual link to homework site is given in the above "menubar" above as MP for your convenience. – 1:04PM, Jan 11, 2013

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 to 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.
