Blog 7: Independent Component 1 Approval

Currently, I am taking Physics 132 at Cal Poly Pomona with Professor Jamshid Armamd, as well as the corresponding activity class, 299A, with Linda Shareghi. This is what I plan on using for my 1st independent component. The 132 class meets every Tuesday/Thursday from 2:30 to 3:45, and the activity class meets every Friday from 1:00 to 2:50, to this will more than satisfy the 30-hour work requirement. 

Since this is a foundational physics class, this will help me make sure I am completely comfortable with the basic physical laws so I can tackle the more complex problems in my working EQ, what is the most important unsolved physics problem? For example, we recently covered basic laws of gravity and orbits in class-one of the possible answers to my EQ is a theory of quantum gravity. I can now use my foundational knowledge of these basic laws of gravity and work them into relativity and try and visualize a way in which they could work at the subatomic level. 

I'm not saying this class will make me discover the answer to life, the universe, and everything (which is 42, of course,) but it will certainly help give me a solid foundation to move ahead in the world of physics.
