'''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 &ndash; 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!

Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!

  • An extra credit question on compound microscope has just been posted. – 4:22PM, Feb 13, 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.
