Summary
This course is designed to help the first-year students improve
their understanding of fundamental principles of physics. After the
introduction of the scientific approach to understanding nature, the
role of measurement and basic units, it is mainly focused on the topics
of mechanics of particle-like bodies, statics of rigid bodies and
simple mechanics of fluids. The significance of conservation laws in
physics is pointed out.
