- Reference texts
- D. Halliday, R. Resnick, J. Walker. - Fundamentals of Physics - Wiley ed. H.D. Young, R.A. Freedman, A.L. Ford. - University Physics with modern Physics, 13th ed. - Ed. Pearson Education.
- Educational objectives
- Understanding of the physical meaning of basic concepts in Mechanics of the material point and of the rigid body. Ability to derive the theoretical results of these topics. Quantitative discussion and solution of exercises.
- Prerequisites
- Good skills in algebra, geometry, trigonometry are required, as well a basic knowledge of the differential calculus.
- Teaching methods
- The course is structured as follows: - Lectures on all topics in the current program. - Solution of exercises for better comprehension and in preparation of the written test.
- Other information
- The teacher can be reached at the university email address. Students with disabilities are welcome to contact privately the teacher with regards to any specific aid during the course or for the examination.
- Learning verification modality
- The exam consists of a written test and an optional oral test. The written test consists of 3 problems, each with 4/5 questions to be completed typically in 3 hours. The written test is considered passed if a minimum score of 18/30 is achieved. A student who has passed the written exam may optionally take an oral test in order to improve their score.
- Extended program
