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.

TOP REVIEWS FROM INTRO TO ACOUSTICS (PART 1)
videos are so useful and informative. New concepts with live examples are so effective. Thanx
It is a very good course to introduce the basics of acoustics starting from one-dimensional cases to general 3D environments.
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.
Totally loved this course and learnt very keen to the concepts. Looking forward to pursue next course!
