(FAKULTA(FU) && TYP_STUDIA(N))
Basic knowledge of general theory of relativity is expected.
Course Enrolment Limitations
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
Course objectives
The subject acquaints students with physical process taking place in close vicinity of black holes.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course, the student will understand the formulation and solution of physical problems in curved spacetime. He/she will solve these formulated problems independently.
