PH1001 - Preparatory Physics
| Credit points: | 03 |
| Year: | 2014 |
| Student Contribution Band: | Band 2 |
| Administered by: | School of Engineering (pre 2015) |
This algebra-based subject is designed to give students the necessary knowledge and skills, both computational and practical, enabling them to analyse real physical problems and to solve them using sound physical principles and mathematics. The subject is comprised of many topics representing aspects of introductory physics relevant to subsequent courses in physics, other courses in the Faculty of Science and Engineering, and in other Faculties.
Learning Outcomes
- apply the use of knowledge and concepts to explain physical observations;
- identify a broad set of the basic principles of fundamental physics;
- demonstrate the skills of measurement and observation on selected phenomena;
- compose mathematical solutions for various problems and observations.
