Fundamentals of Physics

Physics can be dated to thousands of years; it is the oldest academic disciplines. Earlier physics had always been a part of biology, chemistry, natural philosophy and even in some branches of mathematics. Since the revolution of the 17th century, natural sciences came out as a separate research program. Physics intercedes with many interdisciplinary researches that are not strictly defined. Physics often gives rise to many new ideas which at times explain the fundamental mechanism of sciences other than physics and opening up new possibilities of study in fields like philosophy and mathematics. Physics plays a vital role in the offerings through developments in new technologies that happen because of hypothetical discoveries. Like, developments while understanding nuclear physics or electromagnetism showed the way to production of products like computers, television, nuclear weapons, domestic products etc. have helped in bringing about a drastic change in today’s society. Progress in mechanics inspired the growth of calculus whereas progress in thermodynamics helped in the growth of industrialization.
