| '''An email message to everyone in class, with the subject line "OH, homework, and quiz," has been sent out, on 10:22 AM, Jan 13, Sunday.''' ~-It is the first email message sent directly from my computer, using my personal grading software – this is the way that all emails will be sent from me from now on. It is crucial that you are able to receive my email messages. If you indicated your preferred email addres in the questionnaire, then you will be receiving my emails at that address.-~ '''If you did ''not'' receive the above mentioned email message sent out this morning, then it indicates a serious problem! If this is the case, then you ''must'' email me!''' — [[Sam]], ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-13T10:50:21-0800)>>''-~ |

| * No reading quiz today -- reading quiz is a bit ahead! But, please, keep on reading the book and [[Lecture+|my lecture notes]]. – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-15T02:49:10-0800)>>''-~ * The office hour poll results shows that Tue 11-12, Wed 11-12, Fri 1-2 are the best solution (satisfying 85 students out of the total of 88 students who responded). These are my OHs (old ones are not valid). For today (Jan 15, Tuesday), my prior arrangment prevents me from having OH at 11. '''So, NO OH today from 11-12! Instead, I will be available from 3:30 to 5, today''' – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-15T02:34:40-0800)>>''-~ |

| * The first homework (Homework 1) is up! '''[[How do I do the MP homework|Be sure to read this before doing your homework]]'''. The actual link to homework site is given in the above "menubar" above as '''<<ln("http://www.masteringphysics.com", "MP")>>''' for your convenience. – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-11T12:04:14-0800)>>''-~ | * I am pretty sure that I made this slip today. So, let me correct. On the blackboard, as I was answering A, I drew an inverted evacuated tube immersed in liquid, and indicated how high liquid will rise in that tube by 1 atm of pressure. Hg → 760 mm (''not'' 76 mm) -- this is why 1 atm is 760 mm Hg (= 760 Torr). Water → 10 m. My lecture notes and review sheets had been fine on this. It is just that on the board I quickly wrote an incorrect number, I think! Sorry, if this confused you. – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-03-18T13:58:06-0700)>>''-~ * Lecture notes (worth uploading; no repetition of textbook materials) and solutions to past homework had been constantly uploaded to the '''[[Lecture+]]''' page. You should check them out, if you have not been doing so! – ~-''<<DateTime(2013-03-15T17:50:37-0800)>>''-~ |

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.
