Conceptual Physics is a math-light tour of how the universe actually works, built for non-science majors who want the intuition behind everything from why cars skid to why atoms glow without grinding through the equations. You'll attend lectures, work through homework sets, and sit two midterms plus a final, with the emphasis on qualitative reasoning and order-of-magnitude estimates rather than derivations. It satisfies the science requirement for humanities and social science students, and the real payoff is leaving with a working physical intuition you can apply to news headlines, everyday decisions, and telling science from pseudoscience.
