Additional information of course implementation:
The full course corresponds to a size of 5 cu. However, it can also be studied as a version that is mathematically lighter with 3 cu. Only the full 5 cu version of the course is suitable for advanced studies in physics, and postgraduate studies. The 3 cu version is aimed for students from study programmes other than physics. All lectures and course materials will be given in English. As background material, the students are encouraged to pass the course FYS-7206 Biological Physics (FYS-7200 Biologinen fysiikka), but this is not compulsory, just a recommendation. The present course corresponds to (and replaces the course earlier lectured in Finnish) FYS-7100 Johdatus pehmeän aineen fysiikkaan.
