Oct 08, 2020 · Chapter 1 What is Physics? Physics is the most fundamental of the sciences. Its goal is to learn how the Universe works at the most fundamental level—and to discover the basic laws by which it operates. Theoretical physics concentrates on developing the theory and mathematics of these laws, while applied physics focuses attention on the
