…three, two, one, ignition!

 

This is the official blog of the subject “Fundamentals of Physics for Engineers” addressed to the first course alumni of the University of Alicante (Computer and Robotics). We will post useful information, images, movies, etc, directly related with the teaching of the subject.

Physics can be defined as the “source code” of Nature. Like in the movie “Matrix”, the real world is built upon certain instructions written in mathemathical language. Our goal is to decifer and learn such instructions, the matrix, and use them to build new things. Like in the movie, once you “see” the matrix, the world is no longer the same.

We shall teach Physics putting the stress on the basic principles. This will allow you to understand countless devices (including computers, antennas, spacecraft, etc) and phenomena of the everyday life. The technology will change. The principles will remain (after all, some of them were established hundreds of years ago).

I hope you will find this site useful and look forward to your own contributions, thougts and discussions.  Welcome to the World of Physics.

Prof. Jose Miguel Torrejón
