Summary
The goal of this subject is to obtain general overview about basic physical
laws for the bachelor study at the technical university. It deals with
mechanics, thermodynamics of perfect gases, physical fields,
particularly gravitational field a electrostatic field, basis of optics.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Collect the basic principles and laws of the chosen part of the classical physics
Describe, clarify and interpret the particular natural phenomena
Apply the simple mathematical methods for describing of the physical phenomena
Illustrate obtained knowledge in the frame of the easy applications
