Summary
The aim of the subject is to repeat and complete basic knowledge of secondary school physics. The subject should unite knowledge of students from different types of school and help them easily overcome conversion from secondary to tertiary education.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Repeat the basic knowledge from grammar school physics
Define and characterize the basic physical principles and laws
Solve the simple exercises and discuss their results
