Summary
The course extends the selected parts of Undergraduate physics based on the use of higher mathematics. It also includes basic knowledge of quantum mechanics (heat radiation, particles and waves, Schrödinger equation, classical and quantum model atom), the propagation of heat, electromagnetic field (scalar and vector description, Maxwell equations, electromagnetic waves) and the nucleus (composition, binding energy, transformation cores).
