Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!

There was a very genuine and very nice question. While I provided my answer there on the forum site, I also felt that I must add something more substantial -- a new Section 8.3. Please check out my updated lecture note 8 at Lecture+!10:45AM, Jan 27, 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 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.
