Organic chemistry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the study of the structure, properties, composition, reactions, and synthesis of natural or synthetic organic compounds that, by definition, contain carbon. This course provides an introduction to organic chemistry and lays the foundations for the basic concepts needed by students pursuing scientific studies, particularly in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and health studies.

After reviewing classical mechanics, we will discuss the fundamental quantities of thermodynamics: elementary work, macroscopic work, etc.
The distinction between heat and temperature will be explained in detail.
The concept of pressure will be explained macroscopically, while also providing a microscopic interpretation.
Next, using a historical approach, we will show how principles 1 and 2 were formulated.

From there, applications will be examined: cycles, ideal/real gas, etc.

Thanks to the introduction of state changes, examples (critical point) will be presented.
We will conclude with thermodynamics: mainly diffusion. Depending on the time remaining, concepts related to radiation will be presented.

This Solid Mechanics course focuses on the study of articulated systems consisting of rigid solids through their movements and equilibrium positions. The concepts covered include velocity fields in solids, the classification of connections, and forces. Graphical kinematic and static methods are also used.

This is a cross-disciplinary practical work unit intended for students specializing in physics, mechanics, or EEA in the L1 PCSI portal. These practicals will enable students to acquire fundamental concepts from the three disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), which are essential for continuing their studies in their chosen specialty or for transferring to other disciplines.
