Lec 13 | MIT 8.03 Vibrations and Waves, Fall 2004

very well said prof!

At 37:00, he talks about E vector in arbitrary direction, instead of just x. However, a simple rotation of the coordinates will bring it in x direction, so the 3 D solution is nothing special -- the same ideas about 2 d can be applied.. or am I missing something here? Some clarification would be appreciated.

Maxwell's at its BEST

[Killppl4fun]

i dont literally get what he says but i find his lectures fascinating. now that is almost odder ;l n i suck @ math, y? lol. interests are darness things. XD

[mikechu34]

there is alot of dizzy in there.

[dotsond]

i love this. Just got this lecture today and now i can get a better understanding

[lucaspepa]

maybe its just a cultural difference from where i live ( argentina ) or maybe its just this professor but i find it very odd that noone asks any questions or comments anything or even the teach asks if everyone understood what he said, its kinda cold :/.

[basshred]

@lucaspepa Spot on! I'm from India and I thought the same thing!

[TheSuperN00b]

@lucaspepa I agree with you lol O.O

but I guess they have practicals . He mentioned it in one of these lectures.

[Yakeyglee]

@lucaspepa In classes like these, there are classes that are specifically lectures as well as classes that are specifically recitations. In the lectures, the focus is to present the content and derive essential equations. In the recitations, that's where you get to ask questions and work on problem solving, etc.

[lucaspepa]

@Yakeyglee Ok thanks!.

I wish I had lectures online when I was in school.  Very nice lecture.

[jaigupta007]

you saved my midsem........

[colinofedinburgh]

It is an excellent lecture, I think some students here might be getting slightly confused as it's useful to know about vectors and cross products (and Maxwell's Laws first I guess)

[senvik]

argh I'm in high school AP physics and this is wasted on me as I have no idea what he's talking about =(

[pravp91]

really  nice lecture..

[Dilekz]

he sounds dutch.. his accent.

[mar20083]

err... that is because he is. And a brilliant lecturer too :-)

[Yourbookiswrong]

wow wtf. i was completely lost within 5 minutes :(

[tomatoflower78]

I'm not just trying to look intelligent by faving this.......

[randomaccountletmein]

yep

[bethtubechika]

nice
