In this video, I introduce the Wave Equation. I carry out a derivation of the Wave Equation for a 1-D string by using force balances and applying a small amplitude approximation. I also give some of the intuition of the wave equation to give a better idea of what it means, kind of like what I did with the Heat Equation here: youtube.com/watch?v=FUX-scnhpaw
Questions/requests? Let me know in the comments!
Prereqs: The first two videos in this playlist help because you obviously have to know what PDEs/Partial Derivatives are, but not much background Math is necessary: youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdgVBOaXkb9Ab7UM8sCfQWgdbzxkXTNVD
