About

This project began with the goal of making the physics program at the University of Ljubljana’s Faculty of Mathematics and Physics more approachable to non-Slovene speakers, and currently aims to provide an English-language textbook to accompany the first-year general physics course Klasična fizika (Classical physics).

The textbook’s material is based on professor Marko Mikuž’s lectures of Klasična fizika from the 2020-2021 academic year, which were conveniently recorded on video during the coronavirus-induced lockdown in Slovenia at that time. The course covers the standard undergraduate general physics curriculum, including

• Newtonian mechanics of a single particle and systems of particles
• Deformations and elasticity
• Oscillations and periodic motion
• Newtonian gravitation
• Introductory fluid mechanics
• Mechanical waves
• Classical thermodynamics
• Classical electromagnetism
• Electromagnetic wave propagation and antennas
• Geometrical optics
