PHYSICS

Physics (from Greek (), i.e. "knowledge, science of nature", from , physis,

i.e. "nature"[1][2][3][4][5]

) is a part ofnatural philosophy and a natural science that involves the

study ofmatter[6]

and its motion through space and time, along with related concepts such as

energy and force.[7]More broadly, it is the general analysis ofnature, conducted in order tounderstand how the universebehaves.

[8][9][10]

Physics is one of the oldest academic disciplines, perhaps the oldest through its inclusion of

astronomy.[11]

Over the last two millennia, physics was a part of natural philosophy along with

chemistry, certain branches ofmathematics, and biology, but during the Scientific Revolution in

the 17th century, the natural sciences emerged as unique research programs in their own right.[12]

Physics intersects with many interdisciplinary areas of research, such as biophysics and quantum

chemistry, and the boundaries of physics are not rigidly defined. New ideas in physics often

explain the fundamental mechanisms of other sciences, while opening new avenues of research

in areas such as mathematics and philosophy.

Physics also makes significant contributions through advances in new technologies that arise

from theoretical breakthroughs. For example, advances in the understanding ofelectromagnetism

ornuclear physics led directly to the development of new products which have dramatically

transformed modern-day society, such as television, computers, domestic appliances, and nuclear

weapons; advances in thermodynamics led to the development ofindustrialization; and advances

in mechanics inspired the development ofcalculus.

EXAMPLES OF TECHNOLOGY

1.Flashnotes

Remember the days of doodling on the side of your spiral notebook while you tried to take

copious notes from your boring biology teacher? Would you be more motivated if you knew that

your notes would not only give you an edge on the exam, but could also earn you a bit of cash?

Flashnotes allows students to upload their lecture notes and sell them to other students who need

more help or resources. The rating system allows the best note takers to get more business and

the general pool of knowledge expands as students continue to share their work with one another.

2.Lore

The new startup is using a Facebook type platform- riding the wave of what works- and tailoring

it for education. This social network allows professors and students to communicate, follow one

another, and discuss class work and lectures.

In addition to the social aspect, it allows for document uploads, calendar sharing, and a grade

book option. So why is thisbetter than Facebook? Simply put, social networks arent always the

best place to develop academic networks. Students can follow their professors and interact with

them without worrying about that compromising photo from a crazy weekend party.

3.Study Blue

Imagine your smartphone as your primary source for study materials. This company has createdan app that allows students to organize their coursework, store notes and flashcards, and share

their materials with other students.

Study Blues main attraction is that it is mobile. Whether standing in line for coffee, riding the

train, or waiting at the dentist, a student can easily access their class work and prepare for an

exam. The social aspect also helps students find other people studying similar subjects,

capitalizing on a different set of notes and study guides.

MATHEMATICS CONCEPTS

WHY DO WE STUDY THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE?

One of the most popular leisure pursuits is to play with the English language--with its words,

sounds, spellings, and structures. Crosswords, Scrabble, media word shows, and many other

quizzes and guessing games keep millions happily occupied every day, teasing their linguistic

brain centres and sending them running to their dictionaries.
