BSCIEPHY-AG 3-BSCIEPHY-AG-III-1

This 3-unit lecture-based course deals with the basic concepts and principles of special and general relativity, wave particle duality of light and electrons, and introduction to quantum mechanics where the students are able to link present and future developments in physics and engineering fields.

This lecture-based introductory course on the fundamental laws and principle of classical mechanics. It focuses on the Newtonian approach which utilizes the concepts and principles of force, concentrating on energy, in the attempt to fully understand the course. However, as a requisite course to Quantum Mechanics, the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian approach which concentrates on energy is also presented as a tool in the study of this course. Higher mathematical knowledge and skills such as calculus and vector calculus will be presented to thoroughly and exactly describe the concepts and principles.
