What is the purpose of this course?

This course provides the fundamental concepts of physics, in particular focusing on classical mechanics. In general, the aim of this course is: \begin{itemize} \item to study physical phenomena and laws of physics, the limits of their applicability, application of laws in the most important practical applications; to get acquainted with the basic physical quantities, to know their definition, meaning, methods and units of their measurement; to imagine the fundamental physical experiments and their role in the development of science; to know the purpose and principles of the most important physical devices; \item to acquire skills of work with devices and equipment of modern physical laboratory; skills of use of various methods of physical measurements and processing of experimental data; skills of carrying out physical and mathematical modeling, and also application of methods of the physical and mathematical analysis to the decision of concrete natural science and technical problems; \item to understand the logical connections between the sections of the course of physics, to develop the idea that physics is a universal basis for the technical Sciences, and that those physical phenomena and processes that are still limited in use in technology, in the future may be at the center of innovative achievements of engineering. \end{itemize}
