This course offers a broad and stimulating introduction to physics, emphasising the basic principles and their breadth of application. It covers all the main ideas, setting many of them in their historical context so that you can appreciate the evolution of the subject.
topPhysics is perhaps the most exciting intellectual adventure of our age. The discoveries now being made by physicists will change your life, and learning physics will change the way you think about the world. Natural curiosity leads all of us to ask how the world works.
If you intend to take only one course in physics, it should be this one; it will give you an essential view of the whole subject. If your aim is to specialise, this is the most appropriate place to start, after completing a Level 1 course in science or maths or an appropriate technology course.
