MIT 8.03 Physics III: Vibrations and Waves - Fall 2004

recorded by: Massachusetts Institute of Technology, MIT
released under terms of: CC BY-NC-SA

In addition to the traditional topics of mechanical vibrations and waves, coupled oscillators, and electro-magnetic radiation, students will also learn about musical instruments, red sunsets, glories, coronae, rainbows, haloes, X-ray binaries, neutron stars, black holes and big-bang cosmology.

OpenCourseWare presents another version of 8.03 that features a full set of lecture notes and take-home experiments.

OpenCourseWare also presents Professor Lewin's freshman physics course series 8.01 – Newtonian Mechanics - with a complete set of 35 video lectures from the Fall of 1999 and 8.02 - Electricity and Magnetism - with a complete set of 36 video lectures from the Spring of 2002.

Thank you Mr. H.G.Lewin, your Lectures are been very helpful. It the most 'alive' Lectures I have ever seen. I am a student from physics department of Ioannina Greece. If you could, please put transcription like to the mechanics because we don't fully understand all the lecture. Thank you.

2 ankit, September 19, 2009 at 6:12 p.m.:

exceellent

3 tusem esat, October 30, 2009 at 6:07 p.m.:

until I listened physic from you,I thought my high school teacher the best but know I understand you are the first-one

4 Htain Linn, February 21, 2010 at 5:54 p.m.:

Sir , thanks alot for your teaching.
I got alot of help and understand about weight , spring and pendulum etc.
I studied already some of your lectures and try to get all of them.And waiting new of your inveting lectures.

5 sandeep mahala, March 6, 2011 at 2:34 a.m.:

sir , physics was my passion but after seening commitment to the subject and the way you provide feel physics has become my life. i my self is physics teacher training students for jee in india and now i want to reveal them the hudden beauty you showedto us . my life last wish wouldbe sitting in ur live class at MIT. RESPECT you

6 sidali, April 29, 2011 at 10:13 p.m.:

i'am going to cry , you're the best teacher that i never seen before .i hope to meet one day , and to study at MIT .thank you so much prof W.LEWIN sidali/algeria

7 stefano, August 25, 2011 at 8:47 p.m.:

great teacher

8 Aaditya, August 30, 2011 at 2:03 p.m.:

From Nigeria. Thank you so much sir. I hope to be like you someday being a blessing to the entire world. God bless you. Would appreciate if we can get a video lecture on Quantum Mechanics too.

10 Felipe Matus, January 30, 2012 at 3:44 p.m.:

Mister GREAT TEACHER, I would love to have more techaers like you at college (no only in Chile, in the whole world). You really know how to caught attention from the students. I love your classes!!! I hope some day meet you. Wish you the best.

11 A.Aslim, May 15, 2012 at 11:12 a.m.:

Sir, iam a advanced level student from sri lanka. I al ready sitted my first attempt. But i cant to entrance enginnering faculty. But i got the univercity entrance. Now i am trying to go engineering faculty. My first shy results combined maths B(good pass), physics C(crdit pass), chemistry C.
Now iam studying well hard with ur lecturers.sir iam really feeling a improvement with ur classes. Thank u very much sir. My exam will held (physics) 10th august. thank u sir.

12 Sbusiso.JM Dube , February 27, 2013 at 9:34 p.m.:

The great one,the mighty one,the mister mind.indeed prof Lewin you are the best....ol de way from south africa

13 Sun, April 17, 2013 at 10:21 a.m.:

Prof. Lewin, You are not just a teacher !
You are THE GRANDFATHER OF PHYSICS .
I have entire collection of your lectures on physics 8.01,02,03 all in my computer !

I Like you, respect you, love you and hope to meet you someday !

Man, you are awesome !!! I wish we were related !
