Introduction to Applied Physics

What is Applied Physics?

• a way to understand nature in order to predict, design, or control

When do you need Applied Physics research?

• to understand or solve a new physical problem
  
• to devise a missing (physical) link in a future process or product
  
• to obtain better performance from a complex device or system

ANSR has experience with Theoretical, Experimental, and Computational Applied Physics

Often, computational tools provide the link that allows quantitative comparison between theory and experiment.

Computational Applied Physics generally uses one of these approaches:

• Computer simulations: (simple) sets of equations (derived from a few basic theories) that are evolved using very detailed computer calculations
  
• Computer models: (complex) sets of equations (derived from many theoretical sources) that are solved using the computer to describe a physical system

• ANSR Physics research tools
• Physics applications
