What physics is in the HMC Core?

Core physics begins with Special Relativity, which beautifully illustrates how careful reasoning from simple premises can teach you an incredible amount about how the world actually works‚Äîeven if it isn’t especially intuitive. It continues with Mechanics in the second semester, and concludes with Electricity, Magnetism, & Quantum Optics in the third. In addition, there is a one-semester physics laboratory course.
