Physics Fundamentals - 3EUAFDP8

Goal(s)

Basic notions in newtonian mechanics, electromagnetism et thermodynamics

1- Mechanics : mechanics of points and solid bodies based on Newton's 2nd law

2- Electromagnetism : Maxwell equations, physical symmetries, calculation tools and methods applied to magnetic devices in electrical engineering

3- Thermodynamique : Basic concepts of thermodynamics applied to engineering. This course is an introduction to following courses on machine thermodynamics.
