Physics Personal Statement

I also, at a year ten level, study maths and science at school. Maths and Science are quite strong points of mine. Last semester I achieved an A in science

“The smartest, most energetic kids are attracted by high finance and manufacturing than anything else,” he says. The lack of fresh blood in the science field, combined with the lack of funding, is the two big obstacles in any scientific research. He relates these two issues to the two physics terms, matter and energy, where money is the mass, and fresh blood is the energy. Since these two are what the universe is made up of, the lack of them is “enough to kill anything.” Therefore, now that he is a professor, he regards getting students interested in physics as his primary job. He thinks the reason why huge amount of students don’t like physics is that they weren’t introduced to it, and a lot of them have a misunderstanding about physics, thinking that it needs a lot of memorization like in biology and chemistry. As he recalls, the Russian government makes an effort in preventing this misconception by publishing and distributing entertaining books about science for free. Through those books, Russian students are “lured into the realm of physics and science”. “Nothing like that happened in the States,” he added. For that reason, Aprelev sets his first goal to be explaining how physics is different and showing how physics gets easy with the understanding of only a few concepts, in order to clear students’ fear and misconception towards

Throughout my academic career I have gone through endless courses, challeneges, and hard work to become the well rounded person I believe every person has within their self. However, in my experience, I have found that I have a gift and pure love for both subject areas of Math. Since I was in 6th grade I haven taking challenging courses in math and science that have prepaed me for what I strive be in life, a Chemical Engineer.

They took my interest as little more than a fleeting fantasy, one which would vanish after a few months. When I would look up at the heavens and marvel at its brilliance and its majesty, they thought me to only be romanticizing it. “Do something that contributes more to society”—as said by my sister. In contrast, my brother, who is interested in computer science, receives nothing but support. For months, my family’s words echoed in my head. Being the insecure high school student I was, I allowed my family to chisel away my dream. I began to question whether I was truly interested in Physics and if I was sufficiently competent and qualified to enter the

Either, it is a two-side issue of the public sector or the private sector. This data explains that only eighteen percent of bachelors in Physics would go on to receive their PhD, and even less of them go into academia. With that, the presentation does not specify much when explaining the private sector, which obviously, would mostly be actuary. What was new to me that I appreciated was the introduction of the Physics Innovation and Entrepreneurship Education which connects Physics concepts with their real world applications and create innovative solutions. The presentation becomes general and reminds us that we are integral in STEM where an employer might ask about one’s leadership skills and awareness of career paths outside of

Since the dawn of consciousness, humans have strived to understand the world around them and their place in it. From the first naturalistic surveys of the flora and fauna of the earth painted on the rocky walls of fire-lit caves millennia ago to the enormously complex investigations into quantum physics ventured at today’s particle accelerators, human curiosity has known no bounds. By way of organizing the countless questions posed and answers sought, broad conceptions of "science," "reason," "philosophy," and "religion" have been created and debated by humankind for centuries. Beginning in earnest during the Age of Reason following the Renaissance, two distinct ways of understanding the world seemed to form. On one hand,

MC For the pressure–depth relationship for a fluid [pic] it is assumed that (a) the pressure decreases with depth, (b) a pressure difference depends on the reference point, (c) the fluid density is constant, (d) the relationship applies only to liquids.  (c)

When I was in standard 6th, I was introduced to some basic scientific theories like gravitation and force. Since then I have been very curious to learn more about them and when I studied them further I wondered how Newton came to the conclusion that force is equal to mass into acceleration. We know that acceleration is dv/dt, the first derivative of velocity with respect to time. But what is time? Is it more than seconds or minutes or even hours? Since the definition of time is duration and duration is just the passage of time, so the curiosity to know exactly what time is entranced my interest in Physics. Due to some of the family circumstances I wasn’t able to accomplish my dream. in Physics but when I enrolled myself in Philosophy Honors. course at Miranda House , University of Delhi , I saw a ray of hope about my dream to study theories related to What Time is.

Problem solving and applying familiar concepts to unfamiliar situations are a couple reasons behind my devotion for mathematics and sciences. My enjoyment comes from being able to imagine and understand the world by just using simple mathematical equations. I love applying new skills that I have learned to overcome complex situations. Mathematical and physical problems offer me the chance to further develop my knowledge, and motivate me to never give up

In a present day conference on whether physics can provide valuable, genuine knowledge of the world, two people sit, listening attentively. Both people are deep in thought about their own theories on the subject. One, David Hume, shakes his head in outright denial. While most those in the conference are in agreement that physics can, indeed, provide genuine knowledge, he contends that physics and mathematics provide nothing at all. In fact, he thinks to himself, only things that can be divvied up into various sensory impressions provide genuine knowledge and, since mathematics and sciences cannot (particularly because they rely on causal relationships) they are essentially a waste of time.

In this lab a car was created of our own making. The purpose of this lab was to use the tools given to us to create a self propelled car with speed attempting to reach the greatest distance possible. Physics is relatable to this lab because the success for this car requires the use of engineered force resulting in the distance and speed components coming to play. The amount of materials used to make the car has a definite influence in the car’s mass, likewise effecting the acceleration. How smoothly the wheels coincide with the floor will depict the amount of friction being created which as well connects back to acceleration. Physics endeavors those key elements therefore creating a relationship with this lab. Having said this, the basis of this lab reflects the very fundamentals physics is based on.

Till my tenth grade, I had been able to understand every concept easily but then came eleventh grade. I found myself getting easily stressed out by the fact that I was unable to comprehend any of the concepts and they were just a bunch of complicated, tortuous formulas and principles in my head. It was extremely hard for me to cope in school especially when I was doing so well in the other subjects. I immediately turned to guides and online videos to get a better understanding. Slowly, my understanding of the subject somewhat improved but I still couldn't overcome this irrational fear that I had associated with Physics,

Life is just like the ocean, whatever choice you make as a steersman, you must be well aware of your favorite, that is, it is worthy of pursuing in your whole lifetime. My high school physics teacher influenced me a lot in life choices. First of all, I have cultivated great interest in physics from junior high school. It has been my most favorite subject. As a result, my physics grades have been the best among my batch. During my high school studies, I took part in the High School Student’s Olympic Competition of mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry. I won the third prize of provincial level for biology and chemistry, and the second prize of municipal level for physics. While during the learning process of undergraduate courses, I gradually cultivated a strong interest

The physical world has always been a subject of interest for me, and Physics in particular has always been apart of my life. This could have been the result of both my parents being Physics teachers, and my first encounter with Physics is through them when they began to incorporate fundamental Physics concepts like forces at work throughout my childhood. My parents had introduced me to Physics, but I think it is mostly the subject itself that has greatly influenced me to go further and made me decide to pursue a degree in Physics. It is through Physics where I discovered the marvels of how everything in the universe works and is governed, from the tiniest of subatomic particles to galaxies light years away. My favourite branches of Physics include Astronomy and Astrophysics, and I have high hopes of furthering in either of these fields after my degree.

Ever since I was a little kid, I had been fascinated by the idea of an infinite universe. I would watch shows like Mythbusters, Cosmos and Through The Wormhole and I would be fascinated by the idea of several interwoven phenomena coming together to form one distinct unified theory to explain the working of our entire physical universe. My mind would ponder questions way beyond the understanding of myself as well as most of the scientific community. Questions like “What was the origin of the universe really like?” or “What’s really going on inside a black hole?”. Even though I have a hunger for Astrophysics, I enjoy Physics as a whole and I realize that the key to unlocking the secrets of the universe isn't in a specific field like Astrophysics,
