Welcome to Physics 5B, 2014!
This Thursday’s office hour from 9 to 10 is cancelled, as is the class.—3:56PM, Jan 22, 2014
This information was not accurate. This Wednesday’s office hour will be held as usual.I need to be out of town next Wednesday (Jan 22), so I cannot have my office hour, then. If you would be affected by this, and you have idea about how I can make it up, I am all ears.—1:59PM, Jan 15, 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.
