Prerequisites
Knowledge of general and theoretical physics on the level of the first group of requirements for the bachelor examination of the bachelor study program Physics.
Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives
The lecture summarizes the university course of general and theoretical physics. Its purpose is to give the global survey as well as the sufficient overview of physics as a whole based on the consciousness of integrating ideas, knowledge of general approaches and understanding of universal connections. The knowledge of individual physical disciplines is used but not repeated in detail.
At the end of the course students should understand integrating physical ideas, corresponding general approaches and universal connections in parts of physics covered by the course and be able to explain them.
Syllabus
  • 1. Axiomatic structure of phzsical theories: reality and models, hypotheses and principles; the role of mathemtaics; variational principles; examples (classical and quantum mechanics, theory of electromagnetic field)
  • 2. Physical systems and their description: classical and quantum systems, macroscopic and microscopic systems; the state of a system, stte quantities; phenomenological and microscopic description), examples
  • 3. Processes in physical systems: stationary, quasistationary and non-stationary processes; quantities depending on processes; examples
  • 4. Time development of a physical system: causality, equations of motion for classical and quantum systems; equations of motion and their solution; examples
  • 5. Physical fields: quantities describing field; equations for fields; sources of fields; examples
  • 6. Symmetry of physical systems and its consequences: symmetry nad conservation laws in classiclal physics; reference frames and invariance of physical laws
