What is Chemistry? Look at the following video for an overview of chemistry and chemistry study fields at the NWU.
Fisika
Wat is Fisika? Fisika poog om verskynsels in die natuur volgens wetenskaplike wette (bv. Newton se wette) op te som. Hierdie wette is geformuleer om vir ons kennis rakende die fisiese wêreld te voorsien. Fisika, tesame met vakke soos Chemie en verskeie verdelings van Wiskunde, vorm die basis van Wetenskap en Tegnologie. Hierdie vakke…
Physics
What is Physics? Physics attempts to summarise phenomenon in nature according to scientific laws, for example the movement laws of Newton. Such laws are formulated to provide us with knowledge of the physical world. Physics, together with the subjects Chemistry and various divisions of Mathematics, form the basis of Science and…
