Initiation to the differential and integral calculus and also vector calculus. Furthernore, good knowledge in trigonometry. It is recommended to take the zero course in physics offered by our university to new students in all engineering degrees.

By the end of this subject, students will be able to have: 1. Have knowledge and understanding of the physical principles of mechanics and thermodynamics 2. Have the ability to apply their knowledge and understanding in order to identify, formulate and solve problems of mechanics and thermodynamics using established methods 3. Have the ability to design and perform mechanical and thermodynamic experiments, in order to interpret the data obtained and draw conclusions from them. 4. Have laboratory equipment management skills for data collection in mechanics and thermodynamics practices 5. Have the ability to select and use appropriate tools and methods to solve problems of mechanics and thermodynamics 6. Have the ability to combine theory and practice to solve problems of mechanics and thermodynamics
