Introduction to Physics
Learning Time: 3-10 hours
Content: Physics is a branch of science that studies natural phenomena and fundamental properties of matter using mathematical methods. This subject covers the definition of physical sciences, fundamental developments in the history of physics (Aristotle, Newton, Einstein), types of physical quantities (scalar, vector), and the stages of the scientific method. TYT focuses on basic concepts and units of measurement, while AYT focuses on physical models and historical context. The current 2025 curriculum also covers modern developments such as quantum physics and the role of technology in physics at an introductory level. Learning this subject forms the foundation for understanding physical phenomena and problem-solving skills.
