Course objectives
The aim of this course is to obtain a clear knowledge bases theory of relativity, theoretical mechanics and of physics field. Emphasis is placed on the logical construction of the science disciplines and to acquire the knowledge needed for teaching physics at primary school and knowledge needed for the follow-up lectures Theoretical Physics II. and III.
Syllabus
  • I. The theoretical mechanics. The basic postulates non-relativistic mechanics: Newton's laws, the principles of virtual work, d'Alembert's principle,Hamilton's principle. The phase space, generalized coordinates, generalized momentum. Lagrange's equation, Hamilton's equation. Conservation laws for the coupled system.
  • II. Introduction to the Theory of Relativity. Ideas about space and time. Reference systems, coordinate systems, transformation of coordinates. Galilean transformation. The principle of relativity. Principles of special theory of relativity, Lorentz' transformation. Transformation of the speed. Dilation of time, Contraction of length. Transformation of weight, momentum and energy particles. Law equivalence of matter and energy.
  • III. Physical field. Scalar and vector fields, vector curve. Potential field. Equipotential levels. Flow vector field. Meaning: gradient, divergence and rotation vector field. Gauss theorem, Stokes' theorem.
