Mechanics: Simple Harmonic Motion
About This Course
This is the fourth of a series of modules that cover calculus-based mechanics. You will explore simple harmonic motion through springs and pendulums. This short course will culminate in the ability to use the Taylor Formula to approximate a variety of other situations as simple harmonic motion.
