Analysis I functions of one variable and sequences
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
The aim of this course is to clarify the notions of limits of sequences and functions, to deepen the study of sequences and functions, and to study the notions of continuity and derivability of functions, as well as to introduce the main "usual" functions.
Algebra I linear systems
ECTS
5 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This course is an introduction to linear algebra (formalized in S2) based on intuition from plane and space geometry. It includes an introduction to matrix calculus.
The EU also introduces the basic language of polynomials.
Geometry in the plane, space and complex plane
ECTS
4 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This UE aims at working on the geometry of the plane, its objects but also the demonstrations. The UE also aims at introducing complex numbers. The parts geometry and complex numbers represent each half of the UE.
- objects of plane geometry: points, lines, vectors, angles, circles, triangles, etc.
- geometric transformations of the plane: symmetries, homotheties, rotations, translations.
- work on mathematical demonstration
- introduction of complex numbers, geometric interpretation, calculation with complex numbers

The main objective of this course is to teach you to pose and solve simple physics problems. The areas of application are material point mechanics and geometric optics.
Mechanics of the material point :
- Static of forces: studies of mechanical systems in equilibrium.
- Kinematics: study of the movement of bodies independently of the causes that generate them.
- Dynamics: links between the causes of movement and the movement itself.
- Work and energy: work of forces (conservative and non-conservative), kinetic energy theorem, mechanical energy theorem and their applications.
Geometric optics:
- Propagation of light (Fermat's principle, Snell-Descartes laws, index of refraction),
- Image formation and optical systems (stigmatism, Gaussian approximation, mirrors, thin lenses, dispersive systems, centered systems, optical instruments)

Faculty of Science
This course follows the S1 course (Analysis I) where continuity and derivability of real functions, usual functions, and the study of real sequences were introduced.
The objective is to continue and deepen the work on sequences and functions, and to introduce the study of numerical series.
Algebra II, vector spaces and linear applications
ECTS
6 credits
Component
Faculty of Science
This course is a continuation of the S1 course (Algebra I) where linear algebra in R², R³ and Rn, matrix calculus and polynomials with real coefficients were introduced.
The objective is to introduce some elementary concepts of algebraic structure, and to deepen the work on vector spaces and linear applications, as well as polynomials.

After some reminders of classical mechanics we will approach the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic...
The distinction heat/temperature will be exposed at length.
The notion of pressure will be exposed macroscopically while giving however the microscopic interpretation.
Then with a historical approach we will show how the principles 1 and 2 could have been stated
From there applications will be seen: cycles, perfect/real gas....
Thanks to the introduction of changes of state, examples (critical point) will be exposed.
We will finish with thermics: essentially diffusion. Depending on the remaining time notions about radiation will be exposed.

This course introduces the basic concepts of Newtonian Dynamics by completing the notions on the dynamics of the material point seen in the General Physics course and by extending them to non-inertial reference frames, to the theory of collisions and to systems with variable mass. The basic notions of hydrostatics and perfect fluid dynamics will also be covered.

This is a practical work unit intended for CUPGE Physics and Mathematics and CUPGE Mechanics students, in common with part of the practical work unit of the PCSI portal. These practical exercises will enable students to acquire fundamental notions from the three disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), which are essential for further study in the chosen speciality or for a gateway to other disciplines.
