What's Physics? I'll Tell You What It Is.
Physics is shit, and physicists are people who eat that shit.
Equations...
Here are some equations I am in the process of memorizing for tomorrow’s first Exam :(
v_(x)=v_(0x)+a_(x)t
x=x_(0)+v_(0x)t+.5a_(x)t^2
(v_(x))^(2)=(v_0x)^(2)+2a_(x)(x-x_(0)
x-x_(0)=((v_(0x)+v_(x))/2)t
Here are what they look like when they’re made pretty!…sorta
Number three couldn’t be made… I guess it’s to CRAZY!

Some Updates
Wow sorry that took so long for me to update, I’ve been bogged down with about 5 to 7 hours of math homework a night, and my physics lab has started so I’ve had lab reports to write. Anyway, physics has been a lot of review from what we have learned in the first week, but we have finally begun to move ahead from linear motion into circular motion. I’ve had a little bit of...
Engineering Madness
I’m not to sure what my engineering professor means by the formulas he puts on the board… I’ve never seen anything like them before and I think he assumes we all have. I’m sure a lot of the class has, but I haven’t! So confused…

Math 124
From Monday till Friday I was in the Math class 124-001 at 8 o’clock in the morning. My teacher was Mrs. Blackburn, a 3rd year grad student, and I did not like her method of teaching… at all.
Yesterday I finally got sick of it, and decided to change my class to one that was still 124 (calculus with applications), but to a different section which means I would have a different...
Physics 151
My Physics 151 class is in a lecture hall, which I have always heard is a terrible experience, with about 150 to 200 students. The professor, Dr. Jackson, is awesome. He is really laid back and I can really tell that he is a very, very smart man.
One thing I enjoy about the course is that the homework assignments don’t have “arbitrary due dates”, instead they...
Change of Major
Today I put in a request to change my major from Physics to Engineering Physics. Hopefully they’ll accept my request. If not, I guess I’ll just stick to Physics :(. Classes start on Monday the 25th, and starting then I’ll have some updates with actual content…
What's This?
Hello,
I’m Justin Powell, and I am going to be attending the University of Arizona as a freshman this coming Fall of 2008. I’m just a regular guy with regular interests, who just happens to feel like writing about what he’s learning at this great university. What exactly am I going to be studying? Engineering Physics that’s what!
Now I know that may sound lame, but to...
