Teaching site 

Christoph KOPPER

David LANGLOIS


The program covers the following themes which have considerable overlap:
Relativity, Variational principles, Analytical Mechanics.
For students who do not necessarily intend to continue studying physics afterwards this course should satisfy their curiosity as regards fundamental notions of physics and its conceptual revolutions.
At the same time students can get acquainted with concepts and tools useful in other branches of science such as pure and applied mathematics or mechanics. Finally students for whom physics is a major subject of interest will get a more complete view on certain aspects of the physics course of the second semester, with which it has no direct overlap however.
