## Physics - course notes

Physics is a lab science with a math focus. We use physical relationships to predict and shape our surroundings.

About Physics

Physics is science. Physicists build mathematical models that approximate how matter and energy change over time.

Physics advances technology. Physics explains how electromagnetic waves encode information from a cell phone, how electricity in a computer chip is controlled by transistors, how a speaker produces sound with magnets, and how GPS calculates position.

Physics guides engineering. A knowledge of physics allows engineers to predict how their projects will behave. Physics helps them design, tinker, and experiment.

Physics speaks with math. Math is the language physics uses to understand and communicate the nature of our universe.

# About Me

I graduated from University of Georgia with a B.S. in physics and astronomy.

I nerd out on: books, hiking, soccer, science, coding, Arduino, biking to work
