- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
- fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- Computational Physics (programme FPF, N1701 Fyz)
- Course objectives
- After introductory lectures devoted to the origins and history of quantum mechanics is given a systematic interpretation of its foundations. Use of mathematical apparatus is implemented on the basis of physical requirements.
