Physics is relevant to a wide range of human concerns and achievements. Technological change that stems from an understanding of physics is often accompanied by
extensive social change, to which each of us must adapt. Moreover, the concepts of physics have a profound effect on the way we think about our universe, our societies and ourselves. Physics is also essential to academic studies and career training in the fields of science, technology and medicine.
PH-11 is an introductory course that focuses on the principles and theories of physics, encourages investigation of physical relationships, and illustrates the relationship between theory and application. The application of physics to everyday situations is highlighted throughout the curriculum. The organisers in this course have been chosen to be representative of physics, and the skills and knowledge provide a solid base for further study.
