are able to specify these concretely using simple mechanical systems. The students are able to interpret
their results in a physical context. The students know the connections between the topics covered. The
exercises take place in small groups in which the students present their own solutions and approaches
to the other students. The presentation of the students' own results is a key qualification acquired.

Content • Introduction to the Newtonian mechanics of mass points: coordinate systems, equation of
motion, conservation laws, simple dynamic problems, accelerated reference systems
• Generalized coordinates, constraints, Lagrangian formulation of mechanics, principle of action,
Noether theorem
• Two-body problem, kinematics and dynamics of rigid bodies, multidimensional oscillations,
simple continuous systems (string oscillation)
• Hamiltonian mechanics
• Relativistic mechanics: Principle of relativity, Lorentz transformations, eigentime, multi-velocity
and four-pulse, Lorentztensors, relativistic equation of motion
Learning objective Students learn the basics of the abstract formulation of mechanical problems and their applications.
Students have a basic understanding of space, time and forces. They have learned various concepts
for the formulation and mathematical processing of a mechanical problem, know their advantages and
disadvantages and can apply them to specific problems. They know the relevance of conservation laws
and their relation to symmetries as a basic concept in physics. They understand the physical motivation
for assumptions, approximations and approaches in the description and solution of mechanical problems
and their qualitative effects. They can interpret the solutions obtained physically. For selected simple
problems, numerical solutions are presented or worked out, which allows access to questions that cannot
be solved analytically, e.g. non-linear dynamics with transition to chaos. The students thus learn the
basic approach of theoretical physics. Students are required to organize themselves into study groups
to work on the exercises. The exercises take place in small groups in which the students can present
their own solutions and approaches to the other students. Teamwork and the presentation of one's own
results key qualifications acquired. The students deepen their ability to talk about physics with the help
of mathematical concepts.

operational amplifiers, instrumentation, digital circuit design, circuit networks, sequential circuits,
digital signal processing, software techniques, microcontrollers, special programming of the
microcontroller, microcontroller peripherals, creating a small electronic item including printed circuit
boards and microcontrollers
Learning objective The basics of analog and digital electronics, which are needed especially for metrology tasks, are
worked out. For this purpose, in a lecture with integrated practical examples the basics of analog and
digital circuit design, the construction and operation of electronic instrumentation (also computer-
based), the basics about microcontrollers and their programming and techniques for software-based
simulation, design and control are imparted. In the internship the knowledge acquired in the lecture
should be put into practice. This includes mechanical skills such as soldering and assembly of printed
circuit boards as well as dealing with the measuring devices. However, also circuits are developed and
simulated and microcontroller are programmed and used for device control. Overall, the students should
therefore be taught the knowledge and basics for the independent development of complex measurement
technology systems with regard to the limitations and possibilities in experimental physics.
