Intro Physics Books on Phase and Amplitude of a sine wave

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for literature regarding the decomposition of a sine wave into its three parameters: phase, frequency, and amplitude. The original poster expresses difficulty in finding credible sources to support their analysis. A participant suggests that Wikipedia articles on sine waves and phase can serve as reliable references. They emphasize that understanding the underlying theorems related to sine and cosine functions is crucial and encourage the original poster to engage in self-research rather than relying solely on books. The conversation highlights the importance of foundational mathematical concepts in analyzing sine waves.

Hi!
I am searching for litterature on the decomposition of a sine wave in its three parameters: phase, frequency and amplitude. I just need it to justify an analysis that I am doing this way and it appears to be hard to find such a book. I find many website but nothing I can cite seriously!
Thanks!

This is not so difficult. Just try it yourself! The effort is worth more than reading a lot of books! You just need the theorems
$$\sin(\alpha+\beta)=\sin \alpha \cos \beta + \sin \beta \cos \alpha, \quad \cos(\alpha+\beta)=\cos \alpha \cos \beta-\sin \alpha \sin \beta.$$

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
