- Harmonic Motion - A fairly new coed pop group at Brown. Sound clips in MP3 format.
- Simple Harmonic Motion - A series of graphical animations illustrating the features of this phenomenon, with online consolidation exercises.
- 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.
- Coupled Oscillations - This applet illustrates coupled oscillations of a linear chain of identical noninteracting bodies connected to each other and to fixed endpoints by identical ideal springs. All bodies start from rest, and their initial positions can be set either by sliding them along the track

- Simple harmonic motion - Simple harmonic motion is the motion of a simple harmonic oscillator, a motion that is neither driven nor damped. The motion is periodic, as it repeats itself at standard intervals in a specific manner - described as being sinusoidal, with constant amplitude.
- Complex harmonic motion - Complex harmonic motion is the superposition — linear combination — of several simultaneous simple harmonic motions.
- Harmonic motion - Harmonic motion can mean:
- Harmonic (mathematics) - In mathematics, a number of concepts employ the word harmonic. The similarity of this terminology to that of music is not accidental: the equations of motion of vibrating strings, drums and columns of air are given by formulas involving Laplacians; the solutions to which are given by eigenvalues corresponding to their modes of vibration.
- Anharmonicity - Anharmonicity is the deviation of a system from being a harmonic oscillator An oscillator that is not oscillating in simple harmonic motion] is known as an anharmonic oscillator where the system can be approximated to a harmonic oscillator and the anharmonicity can be calculated using [[perturbation theory. If the anharmonicity is large then other numerical techniques have to be used.
