Physics has been defined as the study of matter and energy . An alternate definition might be a mathematical way of looking at the world . The physicist studies the world, defines and measures variables, and then attempts to find mathematical relationships among those variables.
Physics also seeks to construct models which can be used to explain or predict complex interactions.
In order for you to be successful in your study of physics you need to reflect often on the concept which is being discussed. You must also reflect on the concepts and try to apply them to your every day experience. In this way you be able to arrive at a deeper understanding of the science of physics and of the world around you. In order to test your understanding of the course material, you should attempt to solve as many problems as you can in each chapter. This page has had visitors since October 1,1998.
