Course objectives

This course is a follow-up of a secondary school course of physics and it aims to reduce the differences in students' initial knowledge of physics and thus put the base for further study of more advanced disciplines of physics and physico-chemical topics.
At the end of the course students will be able
1. To apply the basic usage of advanced mathematics in natural sciences.
2. To understand fundamental physical terms and laws.
3. To understand the basic procedures used in solving physical problems.

Syllabus

• 1. Units and quantities.
• 2. Measurement, experimental data processing, elements of theory of experimental errors.

Teaching methods

Theoretical lectures with large number of physical experiments.

Assessment methods

Written and oral examination. Written test consits of theoretical questions and numerica exercises. Indispensable prerequisite for oral exam is a succesfull passing of the written test. Minimum pass level is 50%.

Language of instruction

Czech

Further comments (probably available only in Czech)

The course can also be completed outside the examination period.
The course is taught annually.
