Historically the department continued in style and activities of predecessors from Czech Technical University, from which the new University of Agriculture has come. It was the so called technical physics that was described in voluminous Horak’s textbook Technical physics. In time the proportions of the taught problems and methods of explanations were changed to such problems, which were oriented more to biology and ecology. It was caused not only by the University needs, but also by the influence of research, which was organized on the department for long time and this style of work continues up to this time.
