Physics with Mathematics I, lecture 1100-1BB11w
This basic lecture, together with the laboratories presents fundamental concepts and theorems of classical mechanics and thermodynamics. Paralell to the physical phenomena, their mathematical description will be presented. Also practical mathematical tools will be discussed and practised.
