1- Simple harmonic motion with applications to include additions, subtractions and modulations. 2- Damped harmonic motion to include the variables of this motion and energy dissipation. The quality factor. 3- Forced oscillations to include : the concept of impedance, resonance and the resonance power curve. 4- Coupled oscillations to include mechanical and electrical systems. The coupling strength. To introduce the concept of degrees of freedom. Coupling in extended systems as a prerequisite to wave motion. 5- Transverse waves: wave variables, wave equation, impedance, group and phase velocities. Wave propagation in periodic structures. Reflection and transmission of waves .
