The Role of Mathematics and Physics as Essential Foundations for Future Armed Forces Officers

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to get acquainted with the form of teaching physics at the Department of Mathematics and Physics, Faculty of Military Technology, University of Defence. A good knowledge of mathematics and physics is a prerequisite for coping with the demands placed on future officers of the armed forces. Further, the article presents conclusions that show that mentoring, updating textbooks to a form close to the current generation, and targeted practice of more demanding physics topics together with modernized classroom and laboratory equipment, including extensive use of e-learning, gradually leads to better learning results. This contribution also presents the analysis of students results and the form of teaching physics.
