Numerous studies have shown that the study of physics is of considerable value to a wide variety of professionals.
The study of physics provide students with ability to
− complex problem solving
− physical modeling
− estimations
Other general skills provide by studying physics can be of great value in a wide variety
of professions ranging from biology to financial modeling. Physicists have made numerous contributions to other fields of science including many Nobel prizes in fields not now considered to be “physics” (DNA, transistors, CT scan, patch clamping,…)
