Description
When physics is presented not as applied mathematics but as the study of the fundamental rules of nature, it becomes quite relevant to everyday life-while serving as a building block to the more complex sciences of chemistry and biology. Physics deals with such basic topics as motion, energy, electricity and magnetism, light, sound, and nuclear processes all providing a necessary foundation from which a student can reach for his or her personal stars.
