Physics - A Level
Course summary
Ever since Sir Isaac Newton published his book Principia Mathematica in the 1600’s, people have undertaken to study modern Physics. But throughout recorded history, people have always wondered about how to explain our place in the universe and the phenomena that we observe. In its broadest sense, Physics studies the Physical, seeking to explain all of nature’s mechanisms. Since Newton, the genius of Einstein and the Quantum Physicists of the 20th Century have revolutionised our lives. For the thinking, intuitive person, A level Physics presents challenges and rewards in equal measure.
