Welcome to Physics 5B, 2014!
Welcome students! This course will proceed somewhat like the last year's course, but with some important differences.—7:54AM, Dec 29, 2013
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, some links of which are given below.
As for the textbook, it is Physics for Scientists And Engineers With Modern Physics, 4th ed., Giancoli. We will cover Chapters 12—16 and 32—35 in 5B.
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.
