EPHY1 Physics 1 (3 semester/4.5 quarter credits)
Physics is a science that deals with fundamental properties of matter, its forms, structure, interactions and transformations.

Physics presents the tremendous variety of phenomena in the universe by using a relatively small number of fundamental concepts and laws, thus creating a coherent view of the nature. As an experimental discipline, physics relies on observations and confirms all scientific ideas and theories with experimental evidence. Physics provides theoretical and conceptual fundamentals for all engineering sciences.
