  * Please follow this link and read it: '''[[Midterm info]]'''.

  * Some more materials for review in '''[[Lecture+]]'''. Check them out! They are from your MSI instructor, Eric! &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T18:06:28-0800)>>''-~

  * I just made all practice exam questions available on the forum site. Please click "SQ" or "EX" to see them. Student answers and discussions are strongly encouraged!! &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T15:55:39-0800)>>''-~

  * No reading quiz today, since reading quiz is a bit ahead of lecture. Please start reviewing! Read everything. "Reading backwards" is often a good strategy: practice exam first, and then read lecture notes, clicker quizzes, reading quizzes, books, etc. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T04:23:33-0800)>>''-~

  * Practice exam for midterm 1 is posted. Please '''[[Lecture+|check here]]'''. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-23T18:36:42-0800)>>''-~

  * Updated office hours and TA discussion section schedules have been posted. Check them at '''[[Syllabus+]]'''. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-15T22:33:16-0800)>>''-~

Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!

  • 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.
