Course objectives
Introduction to physics is elementary introduction into the world of physics and physical thinking. Physics is general and reliable basis of all natural sciences. To understand them it is necessary to have at least general view how physics and physicists look into the nature. The aim is to make students familiar in general what physicists do, what methods are using and what are the actual concepts of the nature on the basis of physical research. All lecture needs only basic calculus on the introductory level.
