  * Some more materials for review in '''[[Lecture+]]'''. Check them out! They are from your MSI instructor, Eric! &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T18:06:28-0800)>>''-~

  * I just made all practice exam questions available on the forum site. Please click "SQ" or "EX" to see them. Student answers and discussions are strongly encouraged!! &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T15:55:39-0800)>>''-~

  * I have a review session set up. I am of the opinion that doing a review session only once (along with review materials uploaded on the web) may be better for everyone, and I am guessing that the time below is when almost everyone can come for the review session. However, if you are not able to participate in this review session, then, please email me individually. If there are many students who are not able to come to the Saturday review session, then I will try to do correct the situation.

       * Physiscs 5B review session
       
       * Sat Jan 26 2013

       * 3:00 - 4:30PM

       * Classroom Unit 001

  &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T15:55:39-0800)>>''-~

  * No reading quiz today, since reading quiz is a bit ahead of lecture. Please start reviewing! Read everything. "Reading backwards" is often a good strategy: practice exam first, and then read lecture notes, clicker quizzes, reading quizzes, books, etc. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-24T04:23:33-0800)>>''-~

  * Practice exam for midterm 1 is posted. Please '''[[Lecture+|check here]]'''. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-23T18:36:42-0800)>>''-~

  * Updated office hours and TA discussion section schedules have been posted. Check them at '''[[Syllabus+]]'''. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-01-15T22:33:16-0800)>>''-~
 * The final exam and its solutions are posted in [[Lecture+]]. Congratulations to everyone who successfully finished this course! I may be in email-touch with everyone by Monday. &ndash; ~-''<<DateTime(2013-03-22T19:03:58-0700)>>''-~

Welcome to Phys 5B, 2013!

  • The final exam and its solutions are posted in Lecture+. Congratulations to everyone who successfully finished this course! I may be in email-touch with everyone by Monday. – 7:03PM, Mar 22, 2013

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.
