Physics is the most basic of the sciences. It is the physical science concerned with relationships between matter and energy. It deals with the fundamental principles which govern the behavior of the physical universe. The major divisions of classical physics are mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics. Modern physics such as relativity and nuclear physics may be introduced.
Physics is a highly mathematical science, and success requires proficiency and interest in both math and science. Emphasis is placed on the development of a systematic approach to problem solving.
Honors Physics is differentiated from Physics by the difficulty and complexity of the problems encountered in the course. A higher degree of independent application of concepts to laboratory work is expected at this level.
