Welcome to Phys 5B, 2014!
Welcome students! This course will proceed somewhat like the last year's course (however, some technical aspects will be quite different from the last year—read and note the red part below, now). Please check out the last year’s web site in order to get some rough idea about what to expect this year.—9:59PM, Dec 28, 2013
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.
However, NO Mastering Physics and NO i-Clicker will be used for this course. Do NOT buy them for the purpose of this course. In these regards, this year's course will be much different from the last year's course.
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.
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.
