b. Specific formulation for this course
At the end of this teaching unit, the student will be able to:
handle the basic mathematical analysis tools of physics;
understand the fundamental laws of classical mechanics;
convert a literal statement for classical mechanics into mathematical equations and vice versa;
represent the behaviour of a simple physics system using a mathematical model and assess the latter's validity;
apply physical theories to solve a simple problem of classical mechanics and identify relevant and non-relevant data;
argue in relation to the validity of a classical mechanics result;
carry out a simple classical mechanics experiment and analyse its results, in the light of the theoretical reference framework, taking into account different sources of possible errors;
explain and justify the choice of a method of measurement in physics and apply it with a view to obtaining a result;
transpose the theoretical concepts from classical mechanics to concrete problems related to biology, chemistry or geography.
