Overview
The course aims to develop the ability of the students in understanding the fundaments of natural phenomena, and related the physical laws. Furthermore, the students will be prepared to the use of mathematics as a useful tool to reach a quantitative understanding of physical phenomena.
Admission requirements
It is recommended the attendance to the course of Fundamentals of Mathematical Analysis
Course contents
The contents of the course are divided in the following macro-topics, with the related CFU:
(3CFU) Kinematics. Forces and Newton's laws, Bidimensional motions.
(2CFU) Work and Energy. Principles of conservation.
(2CFU) Collisions.
(2CFU) Electrostatics. Electric field. Gauss law. Electrical potential. Capacitance. Current and electrical resistance. d.c. circuits.
Teaching methods
In-person classes in Italian. Non-mandatory attendence, however recommended. Language: italian
Assessment methods
The exams will be written and split in two parts: one part of exercises, the other of theoretical questions. They will consist in 3 exercises+3 theoretical questions, related to the program of the Course. The evaluation will be expressed in thirtieths, and the final score will be the average of the two. A necessary but not sufficient condition to pass the exam, is to obtain at least 18/30 in the exercise part. The correction of the exam will be published on Moodle in few days. In about one week the results of the exam will be published on Dolly, indicating the personal University code. In case of positive result (≥18/30), the student has one week to reject the score. If this will not happen, the score will be verbalized (tacit consent). Who will not pass the exam will be entered as "Ritirato". In principle there will be 4 exams from June to September, and other 2 in January-February. There will be no exams during classes. Recommendation: in order to prepare the exam, beside studying the theoretical part (which is constituted of Statement and demonstrations on the proposed topics), it is recommended to make again the exercises proposed during classes and eventually to use a book of Physics. Related to this, on the Web there are a plenty of exercises, even solved, which can help in the preparation of the exam. The parameters for the exams will be: Exercises - accuracy of the exercise planning (70%) - accuracy of the calculations (10%) - discussions o the laws and principles used and of mathematical steps (10%) - order of the exercise presentation (10%) Theoretical questions - knowledge of the topic (70%) - clarity of exposure of the topic and correct use of the related terminology (10%) - potential connection with other topics and/or knowledge of potential applications (10%)
Learning outcomes
At the end of the Course the students will have to satisfy the following the criteria:
- Advanced knowledge and understanding
The students must demonstrate the knowledge and understanding the proposed topics. Specifically:
Kinematics. Forces and Newton's laws, bidimensional motions.
Work and Energy. Principles of conservation.

FU) Electrostatics. Electric field. Gauss law. Electrical potential. Capacitance. Current and electrical resistance. d.c. circuits.
- Ability to apply knowledge and understanding
Ability of applying the acquired contents to solve simple physical exercises. Ability of discussing the contents of the course with the correct terminology.
- Autonomy of judgment
Ability of applying the acquired contents to solve simple physical exercises. Ability of discussing the contents of the course with the correct terminology.
- Communication skills
Ability of using the proper terminology and of communicating his/her own arguments to the audience.
- Learning
The student has to demonstrate his/her ability of being independent in the knowledge process independently, implementing and integrating his/her acquired skills.
