Physics
MFA101

Description
The study course is intended for students of engineering study programmes and is following a high-school physics and includes description of physical processes using elements of higher mathematics. The study course consists of lectures with practical examples and laboratory work. The study course provides the theoretical basic knowledge of mechanics, molecular physics and thermodynamics, electromagnetism, wave and quantum optics, quantum mechanics, solid state physics, atomic, nuclear and particle physics. In the frame of the study course practical skills of problem solving methods as well as experimental work are acquired.
