Fundamentals of Mechanics 1100-1Ind11

After the course:

Knowledge

1. Knows basic topics and concepts of classical and quantum physics, in particular relativistic mechanics and their historical development. Knows their role for the development of science and understanding the laws governing the material world.
2. knows basic topics of nonrelativistic gravity
3. knows basic topics of vibrations and mechanical waves in continuous, discrete media and dynamics of continuous media.

Skills

1. knows how to use higher mathematics in the description and modeling of physical phenomena and how to derive and prove basic equations governing physical phenomena connected in particular with relativistic mechanics, nonrelativistic gravity and dynamics of continuous media.
2. knows how to solve problems in elativistic mechanics, nonrelativistic gravity and dynamics of disrete and continuous media.
3. Knows how to present and explain basic facts in physics and how to communicate with both experts and non-experts in physics.

Attitude

1. Apreciates importance of deep and thorough analysis of problems before drawing conclusions and taking decisions
2. Is ready to learn throughout the whole life

1) A student who earns at least 50% of the points from two midterm exams has passed the tutorials, is allowed to take the written exam, and regardless of its result, is also allowed to take the oral exam.

2) A student who did not achieve the required minimum of 50% of the points has not passed the tutorials but may still take the written exam. If they score at least 50% of the required points on this exam, they will have the right to take the oral exam.

3) The written exam (both in the regular session and the retake session) consists of a test and a task section. In each part, one can earn half of the maximum total points.
