Mécaniques classique et quantique

Part 1: Classical mechanics: periodic systems, variationnel principles, equation of Euler-Lagrange, Hamilton dynamics, waves

Part 2: Quantum mechanics: Origin, formalism, systems in one dimension, theory of time independent perturbations, systems in multiple dimensions, angular moments, atoms of one electron, variational method

Method(s) of evaluation

• Other

Other

Written test ("dispensatoire") in January on the classical mechanics part. Exam in June on the material of the second term (quantum mechanics) as well as the material of the first term (classical mechanics) in case the result of the test in January was < 10/20.

Mark calculation method (including weighting of intermediary marks)

The total mark equals the weighted average of the two marks obtained in both parts. The weights are 40% for Classical Mechanics and 60% for Quantum Mechanics respectively.
