Hi!  Well, there is a timelessness about physics that can't be denied.  Whether we're drawing upon the inviolate principles developed by Sir Isaac Newton in the late 1600's or Galileo's theory of relativity expounded fifty years earlier, we are constantly reminded that others have pondered this same world before us and, if we stand on the shoulders of these giants and peer off into the distance, we ourselves may be able to further man's understanding of the world about him.

  Many of you will be taking a class in physics, not out of love for the field itself, but rather as a means to an end, a professional career, perhaps, in engineering, or medical technology or technical drawing.  Whatever your field of interest, classical physics as taught at NVCC can speak to you in ways that allow you to comprehend the technical underpinnings to life in our modern society and to feel at home in an evermore technological society.  Physics gives you the tools to master the world around you, to be that confident user of this high-tech servant to society.  Welcome to the challenge!
