Physics

Course Description

Physics uses the scientific method to help uncover the basic principles governing light and matter, and to discover the implications of those laws. It assumes that there are rules by which the universe functions, and that those laws can be at least partially understood by humans. It is also commonly believed that those laws could be used to predict everything about the universe’s future if complete information was available about the present state of all light and matter.
 
Physics aims to describe the function of everything around us, from the movement of tiny charged particles to the motion of people, cars, and spaceships.  Physics is the foundation of many disciplines and contributes directly to chemistry, astronomy, engineering, and most scientific fields.  The study of physics encompasses all forms of matter and its motion in space and time.
