Physics

Physics is the accumulation of knowledge of how we understand forces smaller and beyond chemical understanding. It explains the things before the subatomic particles). From large to small forces (magnetic attractions, state physics (gas/solid/liquid), rotational, magnetic repulsions, electric, cycles/periodic motion, physical thermodynamics and etc). It is heavily based on experimental data that have been fine tuned mathematical laws that govern life and is the basics of science in which chemistry and biology are built upon. While biology primarily goes off of the observations, physics is the underlying question of how, the rules of life such as gravity and how the nucleus of a chemical atom stays together. Heavily quantitative in that its theories and laws are based on calculations/formulas out of the three branches of science. It explains observations/trends of chemicals. Stand alone it is incomplete without its cousins - biology and chemistry - and all together composes the "trinity" or "triforce" of science.

Courses

  • Quantum Physics
  • Physics I & II
  • Biophysics - the child of Physics and Biology - which is basically taking biology and applying math to understand things like the forces behind blood pressure, hydrostatic pressures of blood and how it relates to cardiology and other similar applications (remember baroreceptors?)
