Vibrations and Waves
Objectives
It is intended that students attending this UC:
• Obtain solid knowledge of the oscillatory behavior of physical systems and the generation and propagation of waves;
• Recognize the mathematical formalism associated with vibrations and waves;
• Use mathematical formalism to solve analytical problems in vibratory and wave phenomena;
• Recognize the transversal diversity of examples of oscillatory and wave phenomena;
• Be able to identify oscillatory and wave problems and apply the general principles of vibrations and waves to specific physical applications, with essential mathematical methodology.
