Energy has always been essential to civilization, and never more than in the modern world. But what is energy? Will affordable sources of energy disappear in our lifetimes? Will our thirst for energy inevitably lead to climate change? Physics 1110 helps answer these questions, explaining the physical nature of energy, the ways we produce and consume it, and how changes in energy technology will shape our future. Requires high-school algebra.
