Physics, a field that has fascinated and challenged the imagination of great men like Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton, is regarded as the foundation of modern science. The invention of the cell phone, the laser printer, the Internet and MRI are only a few examples of the phenomenal physics-based technological progress witnessed in recent times. An education in physics develops problem-solving skills thus allowing physicists to seek employment in a wide range of academic, government, and industrial settings, well beyond the traditional boundaries of physics.
