We all live in the physical environment, influence it, and are influenced by it. Because of this mutual influence, many of us hope to exert some control over our environment, modifying it for our present and future benefit. Control requires knowledge and understanding.Physics is the science underlying our knowledge of the physical world and "energy" is its key concept for describing and understanding the environment. Hence this is a course in energy and the environment.  It is directed at non-science students (though science and technology students are very welcome), interested in understanding and controlling their environment (and through it, their lives).  It has no prerequisites other than curiosity and the possession of some numerical literacy.
