Text II (Questions 18-22)

A person who plans to pursue physics as a career should take science and mathematics courses in high school. The formal training of physicists begins in college. Physics students must learn calculus, modern algebra, and other forms of higher mathematics. They also take basic courses in chemistry. After a year or two of introductory course work, physics majors begin to specialize, taking more advanced 5 courses in the various sub-fields of physics. Many of these courses include intensive laboratory work. Most physics majors continue their education beyond the bachelor's degree. A majority pursue doctor's degrees. A key part of a physicist's training includes learning to ask questions that suggest new approaches to understanding how the world works. 10 More than half the physicists in the US are engaged in research and development activities. Many industries employ physicists in their research departments. These people often work in Applied Physics, which generally involves improving manufacturing processes or products. Many physicists are employed by colleges and universities. They generally divide their time between teaching classes and performing 15 research. Today, physics research often requires the use of highly specialized and expensive instruments and equipment, such as high-energy particle accelerators. In the US, special laboratories with this type of equipment are funded by government agencies. In Europe, the nations that belong to the European Organization for Nuclear Research built the 20 CERN physics laboratories in Geneva, Switzerland. Although the US national laboratories and the CERN laboratories have their own staffs, physicists from around the world may apply to use the facilities in their research.
