Objectives of the Course	The course’s objective is to introduce students to the fundamental concepts of physics and their practical applications, and to provide students with a foundation to build upon in their future studies. The course introduces to non-major students physical quantities and measurements, mechanical motion, force, work and energy, and oscillations and waves.
Contents of the Course	The topics covered in this course include: • quantitative approach, measurements, quantities, and units; • vectors and manipulations with vectors; • kinematics of mechanical motion and simplest motions; • dynamics of mechanical motion, Newton’s laws, forces, momentum, solving motion using forces; • rotational motion, torque and angular momentum, rotational and rolling motion of solid bodies; • conservation of energy, linear, and angular momentum, significance and application of conservation laws in physics; • simple harmonic oscillations, forced oscillations and resonance, simple wave motion, basic properties of waves.
