Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Combination of lecture course and training course. Content restricted to those areas, which are essentially unaffected by chemical processes and for whose understanding it is crucial to perform lecture experiments: mechanics, oscillations and waves, electricity and magnetism, optics; previous mathematical school knowlegde is helpful;
lecture course with lecture experiments and and active participation of the students in solving coceptual problems, in addition reinforcement of mathematical methods and the lecture topics, performance test for training course: written tests. Further comment: learning efforts during the semester enable to understand the topics better because later parts must rely on earlier ones; in addition increasing knowlegde makes it possible to ask additional question at the end of the lectures.

Assessment and permitted materials

Performance test: Written exam

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

Knowledge of fundamentals and methods of classical experimental physics, comprehensive understanding of central results and of the necessary mathematical formalism; to be able to apply the mathematical formalism to basic physical concepts.

Examination topics

Physical concepts and mathematical methods dicussed during the course.
