The science of everything!
Have you ever wondered how everything in nature is beautifully connected from the smallest particles to the entire universe? Have you asked yourself why the universe behaves the way it does? What is responsible for the motion of everything from atomic scale to celestial bodies like the stars and planets?
Physics is the study of matter and how matter interacts with its physical environment. It involves the understanding and application of laws of nature that govern such interactions. For instance, when an apple falls from a tree to the ground, we ask basic questions such as, how did it fall? How fast was it falling? or how hard did it fall and where did its energy go after interacting with the ground? When such questions are answered completely with appropriate mathematical modeling, our basic understanding of our physical universe becomes complete. Physics helps us explore and explain how matter behaves through space and time along with other related concepts such as forces and energy.
We offer classes for science and non-science students. Topics covered include mechanics, electricity and magnetism, waves and optics, fluids, and thermodynamics as well as the quantitative and experimental skills necessary.
With a Physics background, a student can pursue careers in research and development, science, engineering, technology, health fields, education, law, business, military, and many others. This thus leads to considerably varied opportunities in both public and private sectors.
So, welcome aboard as our experienced physics faculty members will help you unveil the mysteries of the universe beyond the frontiers of our knowledge.
