This is a four years’ course. It serves as an introduction to physics and emphasizes physical concepts by illustrating the relationship between theory and practice. The Elementary objective is that students will develop both a scientific way of thinking and a working knowledge of scientific principles. Demonstrations, laboratory exercises and presentations contribute greatly to the effectiveness of this course. 

Topics covered include Vectors, Kinematics, mechanics, energy thermodynamics, waves, optics, nuclear physics, concepts of time, space and matter, motion and forces, electricity and magnetism and atomic physics. A thorough knowledge of Algebra and Trigonometry is required and the basic ideas of Calculus will be introduced in connection with physical concepts. Understanding of the basic principles involved and the ability to apply these principles in the solution of problems is a major goal of the course.
