Highlights:
A collection of homework problems with solutions about oscillating systems that require students to interpret graphs physically
Abstract:
Graphs can be a powerful tool in helping students learn to build the blend between physical concepts and mathematical symbology to develop their physical intuition and ability to think with math. This unit contains 10 homework problems about oscillations. Problems are presented in two forms: as PDFs with solutions and access restricted to instructors, and as links the to ComPADRE version that can be assigned to students. The problems are also available in a (mostly) autograded commercial version (ExpertTA).
