This post is meant to be an approchable read into these phenomena. 1. Introduction on Harmonic Functions A mass on a spring, measuring fluid flow, even the cosine wave, are all examples of where harmonic functions can be found within our world. The name itself stems from an object or force going through some type of harmonic (or oscillating) motion from a steady state equilibrium. From a graphical standpoint, it is merely an oscillation between two points, in an infinitesimal manner.
