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. Structure of matter; building blocks hierarchy: bodies, molecules, atoms, particles; interactions, bonds.
