- Linear algebra (matrices, vectors, systems of equations, applications in computer graphics and engineering).
- Differential equations (solving equations describing physical phenomena, modeling dynamic systems).
- Numerical methods (approximating solutions to complex problems, algorithms for computations).
- Statistics and probability (data analysis, understanding variability, distributions).
Physics
- Mechanics (Newtonian mechanics, forces, motion, energy and momentum, rotational motion).
- Thermodynamics (heat, energy, work, laws of thermodynamics, applications to engines and refrigeration).
- Waves and oscillations (types of waves, superposition, interference, Doppler effect).
- Optics (reflection, refraction, lenses, mirrors).
- Electricity and magnetism (electric circuits, magnetic fields, electromagnetic induction).
- Modern physics (atomic structure, quantum mechanics, nuclear physics).
