Re: LUMS
Nice to see First Term students taking a Classical Mechanics Course with Asad Naqvi.Though course is not so difficult but its an inspirational move for the students to take it from Doctrate of MIT and certainly shape thier future goals with that aspect.He is also the member of High Energy Physics Group lead by Dr.Fahim Hussain and few PhD students about to complete thier Doctrates under this group soon.
Course Description:
Ph-101 is a first year physics course that introduces students to classical mechanics. This course will lay out the foundations and the logical framework on which the other science and engineering courses will build on. Our goal will be to convey the sense of wonder that a physicist feels in understanding nature at its most fundamental level. At the same time, we want to provide skills and knowledge that are required in any study of science and engineering.
