Physics is a math-intensive
course designed to give students a detailed understanding of how physical
objects behave. It includes topics such as mechanics (the motion of
objects), thermodynamics, vibrations, optics, and electromagnetism. Class
will also be introduced to Einstein's principles of relativity.
