2- Course Overview
The objective of PHYS 111 is to develop understanding and appreciation of the physical phenomenon and the natural physical laws. The approach will be largely a conceptual one that leads to familiarizing with the basic physics knowledge needed for the life and higher level courses. Students will gain familiarity with the forces and laws of nature that govern the physical world, from the sub-atomic to astronomical levels. Importantly, students will be guided through concepts in physics that ultimately let them develop and enhance the students mentality .
