After reviewing classical mechanics, we will discuss the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic work...
The distinction between heat and temperature will be explained in detail.
The concept of pressure will be explained from a macroscopic perspective, while also providing its microscopic interpretation.
Next, using a historical approach, we will show how the first and second laws of thermodynamics came to be formulated.

From there, we will look at various applications: cycles, ideal and real gases, etc.

With the introduction of phase changes, examples (critical point) will be discussed.
We will conclude with thermal phenomena: primarily diffusion. Depending on the time remaining, concepts related to radiation will be discussed.

This module provides an introduction to using Python for students pursuing a degree in the sciences. It covers concepts in algorithms and the Python language, but the focus is primarily on practical applications in the sciences. The examples will therefore address issues related to other first-year courses.

The purpose of this Solid Mechanics course is to study articulated systems composed of rigid solids by examining their motions and equilibrium positions. Topics covered include velocity fields in solids, the classification of joints, and internal forces. Graphical methods of kinematics and statics are also used.

This is a cross-disciplinary laboratory course designed for students majoring in physics, mechanics, or electrical and electronic engineering (EEA) within the L1 PCSI program. These lab sessions will enable students to acquire fundamental concepts from the three disciplines (physics, mechanics, and EEA), which are essential for continuing their studies in their chosen specialty or for transitioning to other disciplines.
