The primary goal of Tome 1 is to synthesize the vast physics curriculum into a format tailored for the CAPES written and oral exams. Unlike a standard university textbook, it focuses on —the ability to explain complex concepts with the rigor and clarity expected of a future educator. It emphasizes the "programme" of both the lycée (high school) and the CPGE (preparatory classes). 2. Thematic Structure

Electrostatics, magnetostatics, and Maxwell’s equations, often leading into induction and circuit theory (ARQS). The primary goal of Tome 1 is to
Master "orders of magnitude" (ordres de grandeur), which is a key requirement of the French jury. Master "orders of magnitude" (ordres de grandeur), which
Harmonic oscillators, wave propagation, and the dual nature of light and matter. 3. Pedagogical Methodology What sets this tome apart is its dual-layered approach:
The is a foundational pillar for candidates preparing for the French national competitive exam to become secondary school teachers. This volume serves as a bridge between undergraduate knowledge and the pedagogical precision required for the "concours."
Typically, the physics volume is organized into the "grandes parties" of classical and modern physics:
