Abstract
In this chapter, we start with the classical mechanics of the linear diatomic chain with nearest-neighbour interactions. Using periodic boundary conditions the equations of motion are solved and the dispersion relations are discussed. We also discuss the transition from the diatomic chain to the monoatomic chain.
