| Course contents : | The course begins with a mathematical introduction to experimental sciences. The experimental physics course consists of two main parts: Part 1: kinematics, biomechanics, solids and the strength of materials Part 2: fluids, heat, waves and sound Oral teaching is systematically completed with experimental demonstrations. | |||||
| ||||||
| 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. We shall focus on fundamental theoretical notions within the studentsÂ’ field of interest while providing them with the necessary prerequisite knowledge considering 2nd-year requirements. Whenever possible, the theoretical notions from the different parts of the course will be illustrated with practical applications related to relevant practical courses. | |||||
| ||||||
| Prerequisites : | The course requires good knowledge of secondary education-level mathematics. Students will have to take a mathematics test in the first lesson. Based on their results, students will be allowed to attend remedial mathematics classes, which will be organized to refresh basic knowledge and bridge the gap between secondary education and first-year university courses. Such remedial classes are not compulsory, through strongly recommended for students who fail the test. | |||||
| ||||||
| Workshops : | - Laboratory notes
Such notes will be sold. Time and location will be specified later. The schedule of practical and repetition sessions will be posted on the Faculty notice boards in the entrance hall of the Physics Practical Building (Institut de Travaux Pratiques de Physique). - Exercise notes General physics exercises are taken from the reference book by J. KANE & M. STERHEIM. J. KANE & M. STERHEIM, Physique, Dunod, Paris, third edition corrected by P. Ghosez, M. Hoebeke, G. Llabrès | |||||
| ||||||
| Organization : | The theoretical course will be taught in cooperation by two lecturers in the first term. 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 notice boards in the physics building (Bâtiment des candidatures en physique). | |||||
| ||||||
| Written notes : | Reference book:
Physique expérimentale (Experimental Physics) J. KANE & M. STERHEIM, Physique, Dunod, Paris, third edition corrected by P. Ghosez, M. Hoebeke, G. Llabrès Students are recommended to buy the book as it is used for both theoretical classes and practical sessions. | |||||
| ||||||
| Assessment : | In-year assessment
Compulsory written test in November. The location will be specified in due course. January Assessment Compulsory tests on the rest of the theoretical course, practical exercises and problems. Exemption for 10/20 global grades (november and january). Exam: End-of-year exam Total exemption for the second examination period for 10/20 global grades. | |||||
