Course Name: Waves and Oscillations

Course abstract

This is a first course on the physics of waves and oscillations. All of our communication gadgets, musical instruments, electronic devices rely on wave phenomena. In this course, systematic theoretical background to the understanding of wave phenomenon in a wide spectrum of applications will be covered. Emphasis is placed on how theoretica ideas are applied in practice.
