8. Aims of the Course
All phenomena in the natural world are measured in terms of a few basic relationships between measurable properties of matter and energy. These relationships are called laws of physics, and they are formulas that are characterized by a high degree of generality and are derived from a large number of phenomena. The goal of physics can be summarized as expressing these basic relationships (these laws) in a mathematical form, so that the student can use the logical rules of mathematics to apply the laws to specific cases and thus obtain quantitative results. The most important laws of physics are in the field of civil engineering, which requires the engineer to know these laws for the purpose of reflecting them on the engineering reality related to mathematics, engineering foundations, fluid movement, hydraulic installations, and others.
