MIT 8.03 Physics III: Vibrations and Waves - Fall 2004

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.

exceellent

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

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.
