This course follows on from the "Atom and chemical bonds" course. After an introduction devoted to the usefulness of chemistry in everyday life, the structure of molecules will be studied through two complementary points of view: geometric and electronic. Then, in order to use the same "language" to describe molecules, several modes of representation will be introduced. Finally, the notion of planar isomerism will be described allowing a coherent sequence with the students who will choose the optional UE "Molecular Architecture" in S2.

The content of the course includes an introduction to the study of vector calculus in dimension 2 and 3, numerical functions (limited developments, integration) and linear differential equations.

To inform students about their brain functioning and the effects of context during learning, revision, during an exam, so that they can :

1. reflect on their knowledge, on the effectiveness of their learning and revision methods, on their motivations
2. understand the reasoning they use to solve complex problems
3. deconstruct (when necessary) some of the misconceptions about their abilities, efforts and work;
4. managing the stress of certain assessment situations;
5. develop effective working methods (knowledge and know-how), taking into account the functioning of the memory, and postures (life skills) adapted to improve their learning and the development of the competencies targeted by the training they have chosen. Apply this learning to revisit fundamental disciplinary or interdisciplinary notions for L1.

This UE gives you the basics of optics. The focus is on the propagation of light rays through different media. The phenomena of reflection and refraction of light are interpreted from the change of direction of the light rays. The framework of this study is therefore geometric optics and the notions of geometry will be very useful. The notions of light rays, the laws of reflection and refraction and the formation of images will be developed in a first step, in order to have the basis to work on more complex optical systems. The study of microscopes, scopes and telescopes will be proposed in the form of a project in the second part of the course.

The aim will be to use active pedagogical methods to practice the English language, both orally and in writing, through activities such as drawing up a protocol or writing a report. Thus, we will build a practice of physics around the uncertainties in the measurements with a specialized and scientific vocabulary.
