Course description

Course outline

The course will cover a large number and wide selection of real problems and natural phenomena whose solutions or explanations require knowledge of the core physics covered mainly in years 1 to 3 of the MPhys programme. Students are required to present their solutions to these problems in the tutorials and in written form.

Learning outcomes

The aims of the course are

Select appropriate information from their knowledge of basic physics relevant to particular real problems and/or phenomena.

Formulate clear strategies to tackle, and then solve the problems using the selected information.

Demonstrate the limits of validity of their solutions.
