at the molecular level. Physics, however, explains how and why everything occurs in the universe. Through the use of mathematics, physics explains why things must go down and why it is impossible to reach the speed of light. Physics simply mirrors my personality as I am an individual who enjoys an explanation for everything. Physics is my new found passion; however, I realized this very late in my high school career. I recently finished my first physics class, AP Physics 1, and found that I loved
What did I learn in physics this year? Physics reveals how our surroundings operate or don’t operate. I learned how a microwave oven uses rays with a smaller wavelength than a lightbulb. One thing I learned about physics is that it’s all based on math. Having a math disability puts me at a disadvantage against all other students. I understand material better especially if the lesson is taught to me one-on-one and I also don't have a very good memory which doesn't allow me to remember material as
programming class, my application was the most impressive. At that time I was going to school at Cal Poly Pomona, studying to be an aerospace engineer. I could not get a deferment of two years for a mission, so when I got back in 2011 I had to find a new place to study. Deciding to go to BYU-Idaho was a lot easier than deciding what to study. I had so many career ideas, that I had to chose the single major that would open up the most opportunities. Despite having never taken a physics class, I decided
Starting in the fall of 2012 was a big change in my thinking and learning skills. This was the year that I started my Liberal Arts Education here at Bridgewater College. Before I entered college everything had come easy to me whether it was sports or school, but during my first two weeks at school I knew that had all changed. In high school I rarely had to take notes and homework was optional in my school district and so I carried that over to my new classes at Bridgewater. That did not go so well
not continue his studies and became a merchant. Years later, Hermann meets Pauline Koch, who was 18 at the time in Cannstatt, Wuerttemberg and married on August 8, 1876. The couple decided later to reside in the city of Ulm, Germany where Albert was born three years later after. June 1880 the family decided to move to Munich, where Albert's father and uncle Jakob decided to establish an electrical engineering company called Einstein & Cie. Only a year later on November 18, 1881, her sister Maria or
Newton was one of the greatest physicist and mathematicians of all time. He was born in England on December 25, 1642 on Christmas. He died at the age of eighty four on March 20, 1727. Newton was never married and never had any children. Though he did have three siblings from his mother’s second marriage. Some of Newton’s achievements in physics and mathematics are; Newton’s law of universal gravitation, Newton’s three laws of motion, calculus, refraction of light, reflecting telescope, Newton’s law
because of how competitive the workforce is now days. More and more people are beginning to become smarter and go to the best college of their choice. If they compare your application with another application with a college degree, they would obviously pick the college graduate. Education in America is the direction towards a successful job, life, and our countries future. The American Education system is a quite simple process in how it works. As a five year old, kids enroll into Kindergarten to “prepare”
Our class had been studying hard for our midterm test, but there was one boy a year older than me who was going above and beyond for this test. Every day for two weeks we’d all walk out of class when the bell rang, but he’d stay with our teacher and continue to work on physics. When the results came for our midterm he had gotten a grade in the low 70’s. I expected him to be frustrated, but
Overcoming an Educational Barrier During my sophomore year, I took AP World History. I expected to do well in the class and thought that the class would be easy. The course was very rigorous and academically challenging. It was difficult for me to catch up with the rest of the class. I found myself struggling and not knowing what to do. After receiving my progress report, I realized that my study habits were inferior compared to others. I tried my best by studying a couple of hours every day. To
Imagine being told that the solar system revolves around the earth. As of right now you'd think that would be ridiculous, but without Galileo we could possibly still believe that. Galileo is one of the most important scientists of all time without him we would probably believe so many false things. Galileo was born in the same year as Shakespeare and on the day of Michelangelo's death so he was right in with all these other great scientist, writers, and artist of this time. He's had so many discoveries
