Wave motion is very important in science and engineering
Many complex systems, such as solids, molecules,
can be modeled as ensembles of oscillators
Simple harmonic motion (SHM)
is limited to just sines and cosines
Periodic motion is a special kind of wave
motion that repeats itself in time
On a very deep level, everything is “made of waves”.
