Why Study Physics?Why Study Physics?
May 3, 2023 4Prepared By: Dr. Ahmed Amin
Physics is the foundation of every science (astronomy, biology, chemistry…).
Many pieces of technology and/or medical equipment and procedures are developed with the help of physicists.
Studying physics will help you develop good thinking skills, problem solving skills, and give you the background needed to differentiate
between science and pseudoscience.
