| Course contents : | The course follows the conventional structure. Part 1 deals with mechanics; part 2 deals with electricity and magnetism; part 3 is devoted to waves and optics. Mathematical notions will be presented progressively as they become necessary. Such method is thought to be more stimulating for students, who immediately grasp the use of studied notions. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Course objective : | Physics describes the real world. Each topic will be dealt with through concrete observation and experimentation so as to lead students to the theoretical study of specific concepts and notions without ever emphasizing details. The course deals with the principles of physics and presents scientific methodology within the context of reasoning processes, synthesising abilities and analytic rigour. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Prerequisites : | Good mathematical knowledge | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Workshops : | Practical sessions (30 hours) are COMPULSORY. Sessions will begin in October. The schedule will be posted on the notice boards in the Institute of Physics (B5b). | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Organization : | - The theoretical course (65 hours) is taught in the Sart Tilman lecture theatres (A300 or A303) in the first term (three 2-hour classes per week). - Practical sessions (30 hours) are COMPULSORY. Sessions will begin in October. The schedule will be posted on the notice boards in the Institute of Physics (B5b). The practical halls are located in the Institute of Physics (B5b) (Bâtiment des candidatures en physique). - Physics problems (practical, 20 hours). Students will be divided up into series based on options and alphabetical order. Series will be the same for practicals and physics, chemistry and biology repetition sessions. Series composition will be posted on the notice boards in the Sart Tilman lecture theatres and Travaux Pratiques (Practical building) as soon as possible. - Exercises and problems will be taken from Giancolis course. - Remedial formative assessment workshops (20 hours) will be organized in the second term for students who failed the exempting test in January. Sessions will begin in February. The schedule will be posted on the Faculty notice boards in the physics building (Bâtiment des candidatures en physique). | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Written notes : | - Coursebook by D.C. GIANCOLI: Physique générale (French version, De Boeck) or Physics for Scientists and Engineers (English version, Prentice Hall). Laboratory notes include three booklets (9 euro). Sale schedule and location will be specified later. You will be asked to give a 5-euro deposit to cover stationery and equipment. | ||||||||
| |||||||||
| Assessment : | - An optional mathematics self-assessment multiple-choice test will be organized in the first week. This test aims at making students aware of their levels in mathematics and allowing them to remedy possible gaps through specific remedial classes. - A COMPULSORY theoretical test will be organized in mid-November. The scheduled date might be Saturday, November 13 but needs to be reconfirmed. Students grades will be taken into account for the January exemption test. - The January exemption test will be COMPULSORY. It will deal with all topics that were not covered by the November test (theory, problems and practical exercises). - The exam will be organized during the exam period. Exemptions for 12/20 global in-year test grades. | ||||||||
