“You know you can’t enjoy a game unless you know its rules; whether it’s a ball game, a computer game, or simply a party game. Likewise, you can’t fully appreciate your surroundings until you understand the rules of nature. Physics is the study of these rules, which show how everything in nature is beautifully connected. So the main reason to study physics is to enhance the way you see the physical world. You’ll see the mathematical structure of physics in frequent equations, but more than being recipes for computation, you’ll see the equations as guides to thinking.” --Paul G. Hewitt
