| 402-0062-00L | Physics I | 5 credits | 3V + 1U | A. Refregier | |
| Abstract | Introduction to the concepts and tools in physics with the help of demonstration experiments: mechanics of point-like and rigid bodies, elasticity theory, elements of hydrostatics and hydrodynamics, periodic motion and mechanical waves, electricity and magnetism. Whenever possible, examples relevant to the students' main field of study are given. | ||||
| Learning objective | Introduction to the scientific methodology. The student should develop his/her capability to turn physical observations into mathematical models, and to solve them. | ||||
| Lecture notes | A script will be distributed | ||||
