Physics seeks to understand all natural phenomena in terms of fundamental laws.
These laws summarize and synthesize observations and experiments. If one can determine what are the fundamental constituents of the universe, and the laws that govern their interactions, then one can predict the future. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to some of what physicists have learned about nature and the universe we live in. The course is designed for students who do not intend to become working physicists. This course will focus on qualitative descriptions.
