University Physics
University Physics introduces the central concepts and methods used to describe the physical world. The course develops a connected understanding of mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, waves, optics, and selected topics in modern physics.
Teaching emphasizes:
- translating physical situations into clear models;
- connecting equations with measurable phenomena;
- checking approximations, dimensions, and limiting cases;
- developing systematic problem-solving habits;
- relating foundational principles to modern science and technology.
Course materials and announcements can be added here as they become available.
