Course Learning Outcomes:

  1. Analyze the information contained in various hypothetical problem scenarios within the context of recognizable physics laws and apply systematic problem-solving strategies to solve for unknown quantities.
  2. Identify and interpret the laws of nature as summarized by the fundamental concepts that constitute the foundation of classical physics.
  3. Interpret and apply basic experiment methodologies designed to test fundamental concepts through direct observation.
  4. Quantitatively analyze measurement results with effective evaluation of experimental uncertainties.
  5. Relate nature's basic laws describing forces, motion, energy, waves, electromagnetism, optics, and the conservation rules that constrain these laws to real world applications.
