Course objectives (competences)

The students will gain knowledge about the basic physical quantities and laws in classical mechanics. They will learn the basic skills for experimental work, as well as calculations and proper interpretation of the obtained results in the physical areas which are studied of the course. The theoretical knowledge will be solid basis for further further upgrade which is necessary for understanding and modeling different phenomena where the computer science and engineering are applied.
