Learning activities and teaching methods
Work with text (with textbook, with book)
Learning outcomes
The goal of the course is to create the complex presumptions for mathematical and physical formulations of routine problems in physical chemistry. Absolvent of this course is able to construct statistical and mechanistical models and analogies, their description, planning of experiments and data processing, verification and prediction of actions.
Checks of the study have written form with the possibility of use of arbitrary literature and databasies. The student solves the given problem separately and/or with discussion as from the physical formulation over a mathematical model up to the final processing of results.
Prerequisites
Good knowldege of mathematics, physics and physical chemistry, creative ability in the description of the reality

Assessment methods and criteria
Oral examination

Written exam with the possibility of the use of any literature and entering databases. The student solves individually and/or by discussion the given problem from the physical formulation over mathematical model to final processing of results
