Contents
The lectures concentrate on integrated areas that are closely related to the focus of the study program (measurement, measurement error, humidity and dewpoint, introduction to sound technique, electrical circuits and electromagnetism). With respect to the fact that most students come from non-European countries, a section on SI units and prevention of injuries by electricity has been added. The remaining lecture is dedicated to the basic kinematics and movement dynamics (from Newton to Einstein).

Learning outcomes
The mathematical part of the course intends to review secondary school mathematics with additional two chapters (Fundamentals of Differential and Integral Calculus). The coursework should provide not only a basic grasp of mathematics to the students, but also allow them to understand specialised lectures. Selected chapters in physics respect the fact that some parts of physics are discussed in detail in specialised subjects (optics, photometry, colorimetry).
Prerequisites and other requirements
The basic prerequisite for the successful completion of the subject is the knowledge of the practice, which can be acquired mainly in the subject „Math, Physics“
