Upon completing the course, students learn the following skills. They are able to
- independently or collaboratively develop analytical or phenomenological solutions to physical problems in the field of classical mechanics and thermodynamics (k3);
- apply concepts and problem-solving strategies to new and unfamiliar questions, selecting and using appropriate mathematical methods (k3/k4);
- explain physical problems and concepts, as well as mathematical solutions (k2);
- present their solutions to the group and discuss different approaches (k3/k4).
