For many of the challenges we face, nature has a solution. This is so called-biomimicry. Biomimicry is a practice that learns from and mimics the strategies found in nature to solve human design challenges and find hope. Innovators turn to biomimicry with the hope of achieving a unique product that is efficient and effective. This course consists of understanding the basics of how biomimicry works and then finding biomimicry-related solutions to problems within the science, engineering, architecture, and other innovations domain.
Welcome to General Physics II. In this course, you will learn mainly the electromagnetism and optics. There is the famous Maxwell equation at the end of electromagnetism and many different laws governing the basic rules of electricity and magnetism along the way. In the second half, we will learn the basic of optics such as oscillation and waves. The optic is a great representation of electromagnetism. These two main topic is very useful to enhance student's understanding of natural phenomena and discoveries of technology.
