The course will last 6 lessons 2h each. It will start on 16th of May, from 14:00 to 16:00.
Prerequisites: The participant should have a solid background in the core sciences and mathematics. This includes a strong understanding of physics principles, in mechanics, electromagnetism, and thermodynamics at undergraduate level, as well as a firm grasp of calculus for integration and the solving of differentiation simple differential equations. A basic understanding of the Bohr-Atom model and the concept of Quantum Mechanics as well as Relativity is preferred, though the concepts will be re-introduced in due course.
