Courses at Harvard
Head Teaching Fellow, Physics of Music and Sound, Fall 2005 and Spring 2004.
Some of my section notes follow:
- Section 1 Sums of two periodic functions
- Section 2 Resonance, Quality Factor, Acoustic Impedance
- Section 3 Travelling Waves
- Section 4 Thermal Expansion of Instruments
- Section 5 Pipes and Reflection
- Section 6 Impedance and Interference
- Section 7 Room Resonances
- Section 8 Formants, Spectrograms
In
2004 we also ran a laboratory component of the course, where students
applied the principles of vibration, sound, and
resonance taught in the class to design and build a musical instrument.
Teaching Fellow, Quantum Mechanics I, Spring 2005
- Received a CUE award, given in undergraduate classes for student evaluations above 4.5/5.
Teaching Fellow, Modern Dynamical Systems, Spring 2002
- Here are some notes for a lecture I gave on Hannay's angle, a classical version of Berry's phase.
