Why study Physics?
• Physics is often considered to be the most fundamental of all the sciences.
• In order to study any other natural science, one should have a firm understanding of the principles of physics.
• When understood, physics can help us to be better decision makers to determine the best design, the best tool, or the best process.
• “My boss loves physics students because of the logical training acquired during the studies… .
• Fast learning and the ability to pick up new things and ideas are the attributes of physics students. Physics training provides me a good sense of understanding on new stuffs. …
• I am grateful I was trained in physics which shapes my thinking and develops my problem solving skills a lot.”
