Welcome to the Physics Department!
Physics is a fascinating field of study where active progress is taking place in areas that affect all our lives.
The goals of the Physics Department include:
- helping students gain an appreciation of nature's basic physical concepts
- improve problem solving skills
- develop logical thought processes that they can use throughout their lives.
What is Physics?
Physics is devoted to the study of matter and energy on a range of scales extending from the size of subatomic particles to the size of the entire universe. Advances in our understanding of matter and its interactions have led to great scientific and technological progress. This progress will continue in the future as physicists refine their tools and techniques of inquiry.
