For:   Fys  

  Area of Education:

Subject area:

  Advancement level (A-D): A

Aim:
The aim of the course is to give the students a basic knowledge about concepts and relations in classical mechanics and to lead to an ability to solve problems independently.

Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
See educational programme for physics, special qualification. Passed 40p in mathematics.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.

Organisation:
The content of the course is presented in the form of lectures. Important concepts are illustrated by simple class room demonstrations. Solutions of selected problems will also be presented. Physical seminars are included. A number of experimental assignments are included in the course. The experimental work is preceded by a theoretical lecture.
