What is Physics?: Mr. Andersen explains the importance of physics as a science. History and virtual examples are used to give the discipline context. Physics uses the scientific method to help uncover the basic principles governing light and matter, and to discover the implications of those laws.
Physics is a quantitative science that uses experimentation and measurement to advance our understanding of the world around us. Many people are afraid of physics because it relies heavily on mathematics, but don’t let this deter you. Most physics concepts are expressed equally well in plain English and in equations. In
INTRODUCTION TO THE STUDY OF PHYSICS. Physics and its relevance. Central Goal: To discover basic knowledge enabling one to predict and explain. many observable phenomena. -Generality. Highly successful in explaining and predicting phenomena. Essential knowledge for other pure and applied sciences.
This module discusses the realm of physics (to define what physics is), some applications of physics (to illustrate its relevance to other disciplines), and more precisely what constitutes a physical law (to illuminate the importance of experimentation to theory).
