You cannot enjoy a game unless you know the rules. Likewise, you cannot fully appreciate your surroundings until you understand the rules of nature. Physics is a study of these rules, which will show students how everything in nature is beautifully connected. Study Physics to enhance the depth with which you see the physical world. You will see the mathematical structure of physics in equations as guides to thinking. It also uses inquiry to develop an understanding of many everyday situations and develops key thinking skills. This will enable the Physics student to make informed decisions from how to drive safely around corners to evaluating nuclear power issues.
