Description:

3Credits (3,0) This course concentrates on the central concepts of the four physical sciences: Physics, Chemistry, Earth Science and Astronomy. A conceptual approach is taken using equations to demonstrate the connection between theory and practical concepts rather than being used as a number-crunching tool. Qualitative or conceptual exercises will be emphasized over math-based quantitative problems to il lustrate these concepts. Students will be able to appreciate and differentiate between major scientific ideas rather than reducing them to algebraic problem-solving tools.
