Physics

From our daily contact and dealing with technology and nature arises a variety of questions that can be successfully clarified with the help of natural sciences and in particular with the help of physics. Physics is the science of the structure, the properties, the states and forms of motion of the matter around us as well as the underlying and responsible forces. There are many branches of physics, e.g. Astrophysics, atomic physics, biophysics, solid state physics, nuclear and elementary particle physics or optics, to name just a few examples.

The essential goal of physics is the quantitative description and thus the understanding of natural processes with the help of mathematical equations. For this, experiments are necessary to precisely measure these natural processes, as well as theoretical considerations, usually in the form of calculations, to formulate the experimental results in mathematical language. Physics distinguishes itself from mathematics by its direct connection to natural phenomena. Physics differs from other natural sciences and technical subjects in that it always aims at the deepest possible understanding of the phenomena. The subject of physics is, in addition to the study of the laws of nature, the application of the results obtained in economic-technical field. For the graduates of physics courses there are good job prospects, not least because of this.
