- Physical quantities and measurement units, with an introduction to simplified formulas.
Fundamentals of algebra, focusing on equations and unknowns.
Basic concepts of Cartesian plane and trigonometry.
Introduction to vectors, including basic concepts, operations, and their applications. - Reference texts
- "Fisica Universitaria" of Young and Freedman
- Educational objectives
- This course focuses on fundamental topics preliminary to the physics course, aiming to highlight the preliminary knowledge necessary for successful university-level study of the subject. Students will acquire essential skills in algebra, trigonometry, and understanding physical quantities, along with a practical introduction to the use of vectors, crucial tools in physics. This course is designed to strengthen students' preparation and ease their transition into university physics.
- Prerequisites
- Basic knowledge of mathematics, including elementary skills in algebra and geometry. Preliminary familiarity with fundamental mathematical concepts such as equations and functions is recommended.
- Teaching methods
- Lecture-based teaching
- Other information
- Educational materials in the form of slides and solved exercises are available on the Unistudium platform

- Extended program
- Physical Quantities and Measurement Units: Introduction to fundamental physical quantities, standard units of measurement, scientific notation, basic operations, prefixes, and conversions between different units of measure.
Algebra Concepts: Covers powers, roots, solutions to first and second degree equations, inequalities, and equation systems.
Geometry: Discusses angles, properties of triangles, Cartesian systems, area and volume of common plane and solid figures.
Mathematical Analysis: Introduces elementary functions such as polynomials, trigonometric functions, logarithms, and derivatives and integrals of simple functions with graphical interpretation.
Vectors: Discussion of scalar and vector quantities, geometric and Cartesian representation of vectors, operations with vectors including addition, subtraction, scalar and vector products.
