Learning outcomes
The course will provide knowledge of the basis of Classical Physics, deriving fundamental principles and laws of Mechanics and Electromagnetism. The course will allow the students to master the scientific method and physics laws in order to understand and quantitatively describe the main physical aspects of the surrounding reality.
By the end of the course, the students should have gained knowledge of the main laws of Classical Physics, and be able to properly apply them to understand basic phenomena concerning motion, energy, electrical and magnetic properties of matter. In particular, the students should acquire the ability to analyse physical phenomena in a rigorous way, exploiting their knowledge in problem solving.
Program
- Introduction to Physics.

L’esame consiste in una prova scritta e in una successiva prova orale. È ammesso all’orale chi supera la prova con un voto maggiore o uguale a 15. L’orale è facoltativo per chi supera la prova scritta con voto maggiore o uguale a 18. L’esame è superato con un voto uguale o superiore a 18.
Nell’esame viene valutata la capacità dello studente di analizzare dei problemi o dei fenomeni dati, applicando le leggi fisiche apprese per descriverli quantitativamente, giustificando le scelte e i procedimenti risolutivi impiegati.

Examination Methods
The exam consists in a written test followed by an oral colloquium. The colloquium can be sustained only if the mark of the written test is equal or greater than 15. If the mark of the written test is equal or greater than 18, the colloquium is optional. The exam is passed with a mark equal or greater than 18.
The exam will evaluate the student’s capacity to analyse problems and phenomena, applying the physics laws to quantitatively describe them and justifying choices and employed solving schemes.
