excellent, thanks!

Okay. I guess I just wasn't thinking about this correctly graphically--I was thrown off by the minus sign instead of the plus sign. So, just to be perfectly clear, it is then a standing wave, based off of what I said originally, correct? Was it necessary for me to get it into the cos-cos...

What kind of wave is Asin(kx)sin(wt)? Using trig functions, I've rewritten it as Bcos(kx-wt) - Bcos(kx+wt) So it sort of looks like it's a standing wave in that it's a superposition of two waves traveling in opposite directions with equal amplitude and wavelength, yet I'm unsure since...

I feel like I should know this but I'm not sure that I do... What is the difference between harmonic and nonharmonic motion? I did a quick google of this, but I didn't find it helpful... The most helpful thing I read was that harmonic motion can be reduced to a sine or cosine function...
