    Description
    Offered: Fall & Spring Semesters, Every Year This is a general education course for non-science majors that gives a non- mathematical survey of physics, exploring the fundamental underlying principles of mechanics, electromagnetism, quantum mechanics, relativity and recent developments, with illustrations to commonly encountered situations. Students can then continue to apply these basic principles to situations encountered in the physical world of everyday life. The knowledge of physics provided in this course also help students better understand science-related current events and public policy issues. Demonstrations are used extensively. (GR)
