Physics
The specialty of Physics is the study of nature and its behavior using mathematics and scientific experiments. This major covers a wide range of topics including classical and modern physics and multiple applications of physics. Among the physics topics covered in this specialization are:
- Classical Physics: includes heat mechanics, classical mechanics, electricity, and magnetism.
- Modern physics: includes quantum physics, such as quantum mechanics and field theory, and theoretical physics such as the theory of relativity.
- Applied Physics: Using physical principles to solve practical problems in various fields such as engineering, medicine, and electronics.
- Astrophysics: The study of celestial bodies and cosmic phenomena such as stars, galaxies, and black holes.
- Nuclear and molecular physics: the study of atomic and molecular structures and nuclear and molecular interactions.
The Physics major relies on theoretical and experimental thinking to understand natural and cosmic phenomena, and contributes to the development of advanced technological techniques and applications. Physicists can work in academic research, industry, government, and other sectors that require a deep understanding of the physical sciences and their use in solving scientific and technological problems.
