Core Concepts in Physical Sciences

Are you curious about how the universe works, from the smallest particles to the forces that shape our planet? Building a strong foundation in physical sciences is essential for understanding the world around us and advancing scientific literacy. This course provides a comprehensive, text-based introduction to the core principles of physics and chemistry. By the end, you will be able to interpret fundamental scientific phenomena, apply basic mathematical models to solve scientific problems, and confidently approach more advanced study in specialized scientific fields. What you'll learn: * Understand the principles of classical mechanics, including motion, forces, and conservation laws. * Analyze the behavior of energy and matter through the laws of thermodynamics and heat transfer. * Master fundamental concepts of electricity, magnetism, and wave propagation. * Learn the structure of atoms, chemical bonding, and basic reaction types in foundational chemistry. * Grasp the conceptual framework of modern physics, including the basic ideas of relativity and quantum structure. * Apply dimensional analysis and scientific notation for accurate problem solving. The course begins by defining key terminology and mathematical tools, then systematically progresses through mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity, and basic chemical principles, concluding with an overview of modern physical concepts. This course is designed for absolute beginners with no prior scientific background. All necessary concepts and mathematical tools are introduced within the material.
