Chinese Physics Vocabulary

29th June 2013

As promised, here is my first set of physics vocabulary. Further updates will include introductory mathematics, more physics,
and group theory. Since I have been reading several Chinese physics papers on tokamaks lately, I decided to include some of the
useful vocabulary.
While the translations have been fastidiously verified, no responsibility will be borne by the author for any mistakes. If the reader
finds any errors, or has suggestions for improvement, communication with the author, at jason.parisi@yale.edu, would be deeply
appreciated. All mistakes are my own.
