Uncover the principles that explain how the universe works — from motion and forces to energy, waves, heat, light, electricity, and magnetism. This course covers the foundations of Newtonian mechanics, thermodynamics, and electromagnetism, giving you the tools to solve problems, interpret experiments, and see physics at work in everyday life.
With practical examples, worked problems, and clear explanations, you’ll gain confidence in applying equations and concepts, building a solid foundation for advanced study in physics, engineering, or applied sciences.
