Course Goals:
- to provide a background in physics suitable for further study in the sciences
- to illustrate the importance of physics in modern technology and everyday life
- to satisfy the requirement of a "full-year, laboratory-based course in physics" required by many professional schools
- to provide a background in physics sufficient for entry into modules in the Dept. of Physics & Astronomy
