Physics Minor

Physics is the study of physical phenomena including forces, energy, momentum, friction, electricity, electrostatics, magnetics, acoustics, heat, light, and relativity. It is thus the foundation of mechanical, civil, and electrical engineering and also is central to music, sound and architecture.
