Welcome to Phys 5B, 2014!
Welcome students! This course will proceed somewhat like the last year's course, but with some important differences.—9:59PM, Dec 28, 2013
However, NO Mastering Physics and NO i-Clicker will be used for this course. Do NOT buy them. Keep this important difference in mind when/if you browse through the last year’s website.
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. In the same spirit, it is a great idea for you to start browsing my lecture notes of the last year.
The number of exams may not be the same as the last year’s, although I am not absolutely decided on this at the moment.
Please check out the last year’s web site in order to get some rough idea about what to expect this year.
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.
