物理系为学生提供良好的教育经历的悠久历史。该系授予第一位博士学位。1899年。从那时起，物理学系学生几乎在物理学的每个领域都获得了学位，并且该系的教师在无数重要的研究工作中都发挥了关键作用。物理学是一门有关各种形式的物质，辐射和能量的属性的科学。因此，这是科学的最基础。它为其他物理科学和工程以及理解生物和环境科学中的物理过程提供了基础框架。
We have a long history of providing our students with a great educational experience. Our physics department awarded its first PhD in 1899. Since then, our students have earned degrees in virtually every area of physics, and our faculty have played key roles in a myriad of important research efforts.<br><br>Physics is the science of the properties of matter, radiation, and energy in all forms. As such, it is the most fundamental of the sciences. It provides the underlying framework for the other physical sciences and engineering and for understanding physical processes in biological and environmental sciences.
