Hi,
we are starting Waves in physics at school (I'm only strong in motion) - So if you guys have anything basic to learn from to do with waves in physics that would be great!

Thanks!

I'd say your book is pretty good material. If you have some specific questions feel free to ask!
 
Yeah honestly, for the basics I would just look into your high school text.
