The aim of studying and bibliography

The main aim of study:
Student should know pronciples of mechanics of gases and liquids, as well as electrodynamics of insulators, metals, semiconductors and superconductors. The description of properties of these materials on the base of macroscopic equations.

The general information about the module:
This course includes classical mechanics of liquids, main principles and laws of hydrodynamics of gases and liquids, and electrodynamics of continous media. In this latter part, it will be shown how Maxwell's equations of electromagnetic field are transformed in the materials with different transport properties, i.e. insulators or metals, semiconductors ot superconductors. For each of them electrodynamics is different and is desribed by different laws. Understanding of basic effects in mechanics and electrodynamics of continous media is also a necessary base for investigation of biological objects.
