Physics

Syllabus

The goal of this course is not to make you a physicist. It is to give you an idea of the way physicists view the world; to have the satisfaction of understanding and even predicting the outcome of the activities occurring all around you, to know enough about physics so you can have a rewarding career in a technological world, to be able to make informed decisions as a citizen in an increasingly complex age and to learn to ask questions.

What is physics?

Physics is the study of matter and energy and their relationship.
