The course introduces the scientific method, presents newton's mechanics and the main electric and magnetic phenomena, together with the pertinent laws. The student becomes familiar with the basic models of classical physics and, in particular, with such concepts as physical quantity, field, conservation law. The student is able to apply the above concepts to the solution of simple problems by means of appropriate analytical procedures.
