What the college says

This course allows students to study the universe attempting to describe its complexity and beauty in the simplest possible terms. Students will have the opportunity to study a range of theories from the centuries-old work of Newton to cutting-edge developments in the Standard Model of Particle Physics. This course allows students to develop their complex reasoning skills to apply mathematical tools to a variety of contexts and to hone their ability to communicate concepts clearly and logically. Students will learn to use their mathematical skills to model physical phenomena going beyond simple qualitative explanations of a situation to accurately predict what will happen. The scientific method relies on experimental analysis of theories and so students will undertake a significant number of key experiments alongside their theoretical studies discovering for themselves among other things how electrical circuits moving objects and magnetic fields can be explained.
