Welcome to Phys 5B, 2014!

  • Welcome students! This course will proceed much like this course. Please check out that web site in order to roughly learn what to expect.—9:59PM, Dec 28, 2013

    • In particular, check the old syllabus for the textbook and the course topics. A new syllabus will be posted as the new quarter starts, but the textbook and the chapters to be covered will not change.—10:10PM, Dec 28, 2013

    • However, NO Mastering Physics and NO clicker will be used for this course. Do not buy these things, as we will not use them in this course. In these regards, this year's course will be much different from the last year's course.10:10PM, Dec 28, 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.
