| <<fl(W)>>'''elcome students!''' This course will proceed somewhat like the last year's course, but with some important differences.—~-''<<DateTime(2013-12-28T20:59:07-0800)>>''-~ * '''<<color("NO Mastering Physics and NO i-Clicker will be used in this course.")>>''' '''Do NOT buy them.''' This is a big difference from the last year, since we used both then. Keep this important difference in mind when/if you browse through the last year’s website. * Check the <<ln("https://griffin.ucsc.edu/ph5b-13/Syllabus+?action=AttachFile&do=get&target=00-Syllabus.pdf", 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 <<ln("https://griffin.ucsc.edu/ph5b-13/Lecture+#Lecture_Notes", my lecture notes of the last year)>>. * The number of midterm exams may not be the same as the last year’s, although I am not absolutely decided on this at the moment. * With the above points in mind, you can check out <<ln("/ph5b-13", the last year's web site)>> in order to get some rough idea about what to expect this year. |
* '''Lecture note 15 is up.''' Please study Figure 15.1 (page 13) with some care. Also, solutions to past homework have been uploaded.—~-''<<DateTime(2014-03-04T18:04:38-0800)>>''-~ |

Lecture note 15 is up. Please study Figure 15.1 (page 13) with some care. Also, solutions to past homework have been uploaded.—7:04PM, Mar 04, 2014
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.
