This set of tutorial materials explores to use of phase-space diagrams to analyze oscillatory systems. Students develop qualitative and semi-quantitative phase-space diagrams for oscillators using energy considerations. Damped and non-linear oscillators are considered. This material includes tutorials, assessments, example homework, and instructor notes.

This is part of a large collection of similar tutorial materials in intermediate classical mechanics.
