    Learning Outcomes:
    Upon completion of this course students should be able to:
     Develop knowledge and skills in basic measurement and uncertainty.
     Understand the basic concepts of Physics and the relations between them.
     Describe and explain natural phenomena using the basic concepts and laws.
     Apply the basic concepts and laws to practical situations.
     Develop the algebraic skills needed to solve theoretical and practical problems.
     Appreciate the applicability of physics to a wide range of disciplines.

    Course Description
    This algebra based course is organized into 7 chapters. The chapter on mechanics introduces the
    principles and laws governing the motion of objects and the interaction between them as well as
    conservation laws. The chapter on heat and temperature discusses the interaction between
    systems through energy transfer and describes some basic thermal properties of such systems.
    The chapters on oscillations, waves and optics provide basic concepts of periodic motions, how
    waves transfer energy from one place to the other. Electromagnetism and electronics introduces
    the basic electric and magnetic phenomena using the concept of field and treats elementary
    concepts of semiconductor. Cross-cutting applications of physics explain the roles of physics in
    Agriculture, Industries, Medicine, Archeology, Power Generation, Earth and Space Sciences.
