Course objectives
Students will solve Problems from Landau - Lifšic Course of theoretical physics. Solutions will be discussed with the instructors.
Learning outcomes
After finishing the course the student will:
- be able to quickly orient himself in an advanced text on a complicated physics problem;
- be able to present the solution of a Physical problem to his fellow students on the blackboard;
- be able to follow and critically assess a presentation of an advanced physical problem;
- have a basic knowledge of the most important problems of Theoretical Physics;
Syllabus
  • Problems will be given to the participants at the beginning of the semester. The solutions will be presented and discussed.
