A broad approach to the physical sciences designed primarily for non-science majors. Concepts of such sciences as astronomy, physics, chemistry, and the earth sciences will be developed and discussed. Emphasis is on the understanding and significance of fundamental principles. Application of certain concepts to contemporary issues, such as energy production and environmental problems, will be explored (e.g. nuclear energy). Within this context, the methods and limitations of science will be demonstrated and societal implications will be discussed. (CSU/UC)Â (AA/AS-B2, CSU-B1, IGETC-5A)
