Surf these sites: Damped Harmonic Motion -- Mathematical Equations of Damped Harmonic Motion Oscillations -- A good site about how waves are generated and their mathematical treatmnt. A bit tough for newbies, nice for roughened physicists. Simple Harmonic Motion -- Excellent Site for newbies on learning SHM. Simple Harmonic Motion-A Graphical Interface -- A good site with extensive graphical visualizations. Nice for people who aren''t acquainted with advanced mathematics. The Simple Plane Pendulum -- This applet illustrates the simple plane pendulum, with or without damping. The user enters the damping coefficient and initial conditions, and the applet animates the pendulum''s motion and plots the angular velocity versus the angle. Such a plot is called a phase portrait.
