Familiarization with numerical methods and their applications in mathematical calculations.
Day by day, to Satisfy their energy needs, industrial societies pollute our environment. Around 90% of the world’s fossil fuel production is yearly extracted from the subsoil. In 1989, 3.5 billion tons of coal,3.1 billion tons of oil and 1.4 billion tons of gas were extracted. The transport of fuels accounts for around half of the maritime traffic. A significant proportion of the eight billion tons/year flow of fossil fuels is burned, and the combustion products are discharged untreated into the environment, mainly into the atmosphere. The challenge of producing the energy needed to satisfy world consumption without depleting resources and damaging the planet’s environment. However, it is necessary to focus on renewable energy solutions: wind power, solar energy power biomass and other renewable energy. nevertheless, the current share of this promising new form of energy in global products is around 15%.
The practical works aim to deepen students' understanding of fundamental physics concepts through hands-on experiments. In the Kundt tube experiment, students visualize standing waves and measure sound speed, enhancing their observational and analytical skills. The wave propagation on the water surface allows them to explore resonance phenomena, data collection, and analysis in a real-world context. Finally, the electrical oscillating circuits experiment provides insights into RLC circuits, resonance, and impedance, while fostering skills in circuit analysis and practical experimentation. Overall, these experiences cultivate critical thinking, collaboration, and scientific literacy, essential for future studies and careers in STEM fields.
This course is destinated to the students of the second year of the graduate studies of "Sciences and Technologies (ST)".
The course is devided in three chapters :
Chapter I : Basic laws and fundamental electrical analysis methods.
Chapter II : Two-port networks and filters
Chapter III: Electronic components and applications
