TEMPEST INC. Courses Mastering the language of physics and electronics.

On this site, we define "TEMPEST" as: Troublesome Electro Magnetic Problems and their Elimination STrategies

Mastering the language of physics and electronics.

" You don't have to be an Einstein to sound like one. "



The fields of Physics and Electronics have very specialized vocabularies. Certain words such as "power" and "energy" have specific and very distinct meanings. Increasingly, these specific terms are making their way into contracts, negotiations, and discussions of military, financial, political, and even diplomatic issues. Without a firm command of this language, a person can easily use these terms incorrectly, or ( worse yet ) unknowingly miss important nuances. When such errors creep into official documents, their effects can be far-reaching and costly. For people in responsible positions, it has become essential to master this new vocabulary.

OBJECTIVE
This course de-mystifies the vocabularies of physics and electronics, concentrating on the terms that are being most widely employed today. Participants will master the proper usage of these terms, along with a practical understanding of the concepts behind them.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND
This course is designed for intelligent people who have no particular background in science or technology. Explaining technical concepts in an effective, easy-to understand manner, this also serves as a good refresher course for others. Civilian and military executives, attorneys, and negotiators will find this course useful, informative and enlightening. It can save your organization many times its cost.
