| Aims of the course | Introduction with basic principles of thermodynamics, molecular physics and wave motion. | |||||||||
| Learning outcomes | Upon completion of the course students understand the most important concepts of thermodynamics and molecular physics. They also understand the most important concepts related to wave motion (wave equation, difference between open and closed area of propagaion) as a phenomenological and intuitive basis for understanding higher courses. | |||||||||
