The Mechanical universe ... and beyond. Resonance. Waves

Program 17, Resonance: explores the phenomenon of resonance and discusses how this phenomenon can be used to explain why a swaying bridge can collapse in a mild wind or why a wineglass can be shattered by a human voice. -- Program 18, Waves: discusses Newton's application of the simple harmonic motion concept to the propagation of sound. Uses computer animation sequences, historical reenactments, and close-up photography of experiments.

  • "This course combines computer graphics and dramatic reenactments of the history of science with introductory lectures by Caltech's David L. Goodstein. This in-depth adventure of the mind traces the interaction of ideas from Aristotle to Einstein to explain the theories of Copernicus, Kepler, and Newton. The programs clearly explain and illustrate classical mechanics and modern physics."
