Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to unify and supplement the knowledge of high school physics students and to cultivate the ability of students use the means of higher mathematics to physically describe reality. The main emphasis is put on knowledge practically topics that enable students to create a comprehensive picture of the world in accordance with current physical knowledge.
After graduating, the student will focus on basic classical physics.
Prerequisites
Mathematics I.

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination, Written examination

After completing the course, the student demonstrates knowledge of basic concepts of secondary school physics and is oriented in the use of differential and integral calculus for solving basic physical problems. Conditions for granting credit: - preparation of at least two protocols from laboratory tasks (if students complete three or four tasks, they can get a better grade on the exam if their exam is tied between two evaluations) - credit conditions are the same for full-time and combined study students Course of the exam: - answering two questions - the first from the field of electricity and magnetism and the second according to a selection from the syllabus. Using the board, students directly answer the question.
