L really enjoy my physics course work. I view physics as a never-ending quest to explain the world around us. Much of the groundwork has already been laid by great men and prominent scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton, Michael Faraday, and Albert Einstein. There is so much to learn from work that has already been done, as well as from work yet to come. So many things have not been explained and are not understood.
Physics helps develop many important characteristics of any great mind.
Physics develops logical thinking and problem solving skills, as well as other, less mentioned skills such as patience, imagination, and stress management. A better understanding of these concepts lends one to a greater respect of those people who really do understand it. Physics is an integral part of any engineering background. The headaches, eyestrain, and frustrations aside, physics provides us with an awareness of the laws of nature, a better understanding of the world around us. Physics gives us the tools, the method, and the explanation for the things we do.
