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 diļ¬usion. Depending on the remaining time notions about radiation will be exposed.

This module is an introduction to the use of Python for students in the sciences. It will cover notions of algorithmics and the Python language, but the approach is primarily oriented towards a usefulness in Science. The examples will be based on problems related to the other first year subjects.

This course is intended for first year PCSI students. It is an introduction to linear algebra as well as to the solution of linear differential systems (matrix calculus, solution of linear systems, eigenvalues and diagonalization, solution of linear differential systems).

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 transversal practical work unit intended for students majoring in physics, mechanics or EEA in the L1 PCSI portal. These practical works will allow students to acquire fundamental notions from the 3 disciplines (physics, mechanics, EEA), which are essential for the continuation of studies in the chosen speciality or in view of a gateway between the other disciplines.
