About the Course

This course introduces acoustics by using the concept of impedance. The course starts with vibrations and waves, demonstrating how vibration can be envisaged as a kind of wave, mathematically and physically. They are realized by one-dimensional examples, which provide mathematically simplest but clear enough physical insights. Then the part 1 ends with explaining waves on a flat surface of discontinuity, demonstrating how propagation characteristics of waves change in space where there is a distributed impedance mismatch....

I heard something in this course which I have never heard before. The professor emphasizes on physical prospective of this course intentionally and this is very useful to describe the concept.

It is a very good course to introduce the basics of acoustics starting from one-dimensional cases to general 3D environments.

Great professor, he really explains physics at a high level. Useful course not only for however want to learn acoustics but also for who want to better understand many different topics of physics. Some problems with the final test of each week, sometimes questions are not clear. I would emphasize more on what is the meaning of a negative reflectance as it had been a question mark for too long time. By the way, I am happy to have attended this course.

This course is a really good introduction. The quizzes do a good job testing your understanding of concepts. Negatives are that you are not provided the powerpoint used in the lecture or additional lecture notes that could be printed for future reference.

The PowerPoint part should be ignored as it makes it difficult to focus on the content. The instructor himself has profound knowledge regarding waves & also in whistling :) God Bless You

Although this course is not designed especially for MOOC, you can still have a general idea of Acoustics. I want to take the Part 2 as well. Thanks for the effort made by KAIST.

The professor was hard to understand. Even the transcript couldn't understand him. Very unfair.
