THE PHYSICAL WORLD
Physics is not a fixed body of knowledge but an ever evolving attempt to improve our understanding of the world around us. Students explore both the foundations and the discoveries at the frontiers of the subject, acquiring not just factual knowledge but the skills to enable them to analyse and solve problems. Beginning with a study of Newton's Laws of Motion and Universal Gravitation, there is also some time spent on the theory and application of electric circuits and electromagnetism. The course is rounded off with an appreciation of some twentieth and twenty-first century Physics, including an introduction to relativity, quantum mechanics, and cosmology.
