To show mathematical principles used in Physics science and to give some applications in Physics
 
Learning OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
LO - 1 : demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the core areas of physics, including mechanics, electricity and magnetism, thermal physics, and quantum mechanics.1 - 2 - 31,
LO - 2 : demonstrate a thorough knowledge of the necessary mathematics required for qualitative and qualitative analysis of problems in the core areas of physics.1 - 2 - 31,
LO - 3 : demonstrate the ability to analyze and interpret quantitative results, both in the core areas of physics and in complex problems that cross multiple core areas. They will also have the ability to assess and solve unfamiliar problems in physics using the knowledge and skills acquired.1 - 2 - 31,
LO - 4 : demonstrate the ability to communicate scientific results effectively, both verbally and in writing.1 - 2 - 31,
