| * '''From reading quiz 5, the deadline will be strictly applied''' in the following sense. If no answers are given in the answering box in the upper right corner by the beginning of the class time, then you will not get credit for the reading quiz. If you provide a long answer on the forum after the beginning of the class time, then you will not get any credit from them, even if I mark them as the best answer. These mechanisms will be applied by checking time stamps of the database of my web site. However, I am not necessarily discouraging you to have a late discussion on line or to submit a late report, especially if you had a good reason for not doing the quiz before class begins. On the contrary, I encourage it, in general. It is just that how much you might get credit for late work, if at all, depends very strongly on the quality of your work. In any case, the true benefit of doing work, even if it is a little late, should be viewed as your knowledge and understanding gained, which should help you in the exams.—~-''<<DateTime(2015-01-22T09:14:35-0800)>>''-~ | * There will be no physical lecture next Tuesday (there is a lecture on Thursday!).

Welcome to Physics 5B, 2015!
There will be no physical lecture next Tuesday (there is a lecture on Thursday!). Instead, I will upload youtube lectures. I am traveling through Wednesday, and so there won't be any office hours Monday and Tuesday. Please ask any questions on line.—1:32PM, Feb 26, 2015
My first youtube lecture!—1:27PM, Feb 26, 2015
I hope that everyone found some nice pieces of knowledge to express in the midterm. My solutions are posted here (also, note the new homework, while you are there).

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.
