1. PHYSICS

2. Physics is the
scientific study
of matter and
energy. Topics
covered include
classical and
modern theories,
electricity and
magnetism, and
relativity.

3. Are you ready to… ?
• Conduct independent research
• Experiment in the lab
• Work with other physics students
on difficult assignments
• Struggle with complex concepts

4. Physics Student
A person who likes learning how
things work, especially in the
natural world.
If you like math, solving puzzles,
and looking for logical
solutions, this could be
the major for you..

5. Professional Physics
Nearly 90 percent of all
"physicists" are working
in medicine, education,
industry, or other
professions. Physicists
are in demand for their
analytical skills in many
financial, fund
management and research
roles, in law, as weather
forecasters, computer
programmers, and as

6. Physics At CCC
• Analytic Geometry &
Calculus
• Differential
Equations
• University Physics
with Laboratories
• Statics
The Colby Community College Physics lab now has new
Equipment also. These are comparable to the
equipment used at larger, four year Universities.

7. Analytic Geometry
A branch of algebra that is used to
model geometric objects - points,
(straight) lines, and circles being
the most basic of these.
Analytic geometry is a great
invention of Descartes and Fermat.

8. Statics
This is a course in modern methods
in statistics. It will focus on
regression, data mining and
statistics based Natural Language
Processing. The regression module
will extend your knowledge of
building multiple regressions
This Class at CCC is about
Engineering Statics, which is the study of
forces in non-moving objects. This is important
