2009 - 2011 GENERAL CATALOG PHYSICS G6-118 (323) 265-8924 Physics is regarded as one of the most fundamental of the sciences. Using the scientific method, a student of physics tries to understand the properties of physical reality, such as space, time, motion, matter, energy, force, etc. The objective is to gain a working knowledge and be able to make practical applications of the laws that govern the universe. Physics is a required subject for most majors in scientific and technical fields such as Physics, Chemistry, Engineering, Biology, Medicine, Astronomy, Geology, Earth Sciences, etc. subjects • Astronomy • Physics Faculty Ramirez, Jose, V. - Co-Chair Assistant Professor, Physics Kiledjian, Viken P.
