Santa Barbara Physics Tutoring FAQ
Physics is one of the most complex branches of science because it combines a vast array of skills, ideas, and applications. It is a facet of natural science and explores the many natural laws that govern our world. Physics combines mathematics and experimentation to measure and understand natural forces. Electric fields, magnetism, and radioactivity - these are just a few aspects of studying physics, and understanding everything can be quite a challenge. But having a solid foundation in physics builds pathways to a variety of career opportunities. Mechanical engineers use physics to create and maintain important structures. Biophysicists delve into our ecosystems to create new crops and cures. Computational physicists model natural laws that lead to more realistic virtual worlds and games. These few examples highlight the importance of studying physics with the help of a knowledgeable tutor who has experience.
