Exploring the principles of conservation in physics, this overview discusses how certain physical quantities remain constant within isolated systems. It delves into the most prominent conservation laws, including those of mass-energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, and electric charge. The text also examines the mathematical expression of these laws through continuity equations and the deep connection between conservation laws and symmetries, as explained by Noether's theorem. Additionally, it distinguishes between exact and approximate conservation laws, as well as local and global principles, highlighting their critical role in various scientific fields.
