Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the need for practice problems related to waves and vibrations, specifically focusing on superposed vibrations. Participants express a desire for additional resources and study tips to better understand the material.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related, Meta-discussion

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests practice problems for a waves and vibrations course, noting a lack of sufficient problems and worked solutions in their current textbook.
  • Another participant suggests Boas' book, "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences," as a resource that includes examples and problems with solutions, and mentions Arfken and Weber's book as a potential complement.
  • There is a recommendation to search the university library for these resources or consider ordering them online if unavailable.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the need for additional practice problems and resources, but there is no consensus on specific materials beyond the suggestions made.

Contextual Notes

Participants have not specified the exact nature of the problems they seek, nor have they detailed the specific challenges they face with superposed vibrations.

Who May Find This Useful

Students studying waves and vibrations, particularly those seeking additional practice problems and study resources.

I need practice problems for Waves and vibrations course. Right now we are doing superposed vibtrations and I don't understand it. The book we have for the class is A.P. French and it has like maybe 10 problems in it and NO worked out solutions. I have REA's Physics problem solver but it doesn't have any in it. Also any study tips on how to get through this material would be great because right now I'm not getting it.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
anybody? help!
 
try Boas' book Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences.
As a complement, you could try Arfken and Weber's book, Mathematical Methods for Physicists. I know that Boas' book has examples, and problems w/ solutions in the back. Not sure about Arfken and Weber.

Search your university's library first. Failing that, you can order them on Amazon.com.
 
Thank you!
