Physics 5B UCSC
Welcome to Physics 5B, 2015!
Thanks for your participation in the doodle poll. (You can still participate in the poll, but I consider the poll to be statistically significant already.) The following is the optimum solution for office hours: Mo 2-3, TuTh 12-1. (Mo11-12 turns out to be occupied by my other recurring schedule and it has been dropped.)—12:29AM, Jan 06, 2015
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.
