MIT 8.03SC Physics III: Vibrations and Waves, Fall 2016 View the complete course: https://ocw.mit.edu/8-03SCF16 Instructor: Yen-Jie Lee The mathematical description of "symmetry" is introduced. Prof. Lee shows that the concept of symmetry can be used to solve infinite numbers of coupled oscillators and that the sine waves we see in daily life are coming from translation symmetry.
