Actual problems of modern physics

Description: This discipline allows you to acquire basic scientific and practical knowledge necessary to solve problems related to the problems of modern physics. Modern physics is a field of science devoted to the study of the fundamental laws of nature at the highest energy levels, small scales, and extreme conditions. The course includes areas such as quantum mechanics, relativity theory, elementary particles, cosmology and much more.

Amount of credits: 5

Goal

• Conducting scientific research on the problems posed; formulating new tasks that arise in the course of scientific research; working with scientific literature using new information technologies, working on experimental physical installations; choosing the necessary research methods; analyzing the obtained physical information using modern computer technology.

Objective

• a) to acquaint students with the main stages of development of physical and mathematical education, the level of scientific knowledge; b)to interpret physics widely and deeply in the XXI century; c) to show a generalization of modern fundamental problems of natural science; d) to reveal the role of modern developed science in physics and civilizational science; e) to increase modern interests on a methodological basis to fundamental and applied Radiophysics, optometry, photon, optoinformatics; f) to expand terminological and linguistic competence.; g) description of the types of science and General laws of scientific theory that developed during the XX-XXI centuries; h) explanation of the problems of physics as a valuable source of cultural construction; i) introduction to the theory of pseudonymy.
