History of physics – history of the physical science that studies matter and its motion through space-time, and related concepts such as energy and force . History of acoustics – history of the study of mechanical waves in solids, liquids, and gases (such as vibration and sound)
A Bachelor of Science (BS, BSc, B.S., B.Sc., SB, or ScB; from the Latin scientiae baccalaureus) [1] is a bachelor's degree that is awarded for programs that generally last three to five years. [ 2 ] The first university to admit a student to the degree of Bachelor of Science was the University of London in 1860. [ 3 ]
All group 4 subjects (except computer science and environmental systems and societies; see below) follow roughly the same format. Each subject has its Subject Specific Core (SSC), i.e., material taught at both the standard and higher levels. Students sitting the Higher Level examination study the Additional Higher Level (AHL) material.
Bachelor's degrees in Algerian universities are called "الليسانس" in Arabic or la licence in French; the degree normally takes three years to complete and is a part of the LMD ("licence", "master", "doctorat") reform, students can enroll in a bachelor's degree program in different fields of study after having obtained their baccalauréat (the national secondary education test).
Many universities offer programs of study which tag academic degrees with a particular speciality. [citation needed] A tagged degree incorporates the name of the subject of study into the degree title and generally requires more specialized coursework than a degree with an untagged major.
astrophysics, the physics in the universe, including the properties and interactions of celestial bodies in astronomy; atmospheric physics is the application of physics to the study of the atmosphere; space physics is the study of plasmas as they occur naturally in the Earth's upper atmosphere (aeronomy) and within the Solar System
Classical physics traditionally includes the fields of mechanics, optics, electricity, magnetism, acoustics and thermodynamics.The term Modern physics is normally used for fields which rely heavily on quantum theory, including quantum mechanics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and condensed matter physics.
