Learning outcomes
In this course the student will learn the meaning of the main
quantities of classical Physics, their units and relative
relations; the concepts of measurement uncertainty, error
propagation and data analysis; the mechanics of single points and
of a composite objects and the elementary theory of classical
electromagnetism in vacuum.
Course contents
Dimensional formulae and physical units; error propagation; scalar
and vector fields;
Kinematics and dynamics for a point mass; dynamics of systems;
angular momentum and rotating objects; harmonic motion;
gravitation;
Electrostatics; continuous currents; magnetostatics; time varying
electromagnetic fields;
Geometrical optics. Interference

Teaching methods
Lectures and exercises
Assessment methods
The knowledge of elementary mechanics and electromagnetism will be
verified with a written text were the student will have to solve
exercises at a level of difficulty comparable with that of those
presented in the course and in the textbook. An oral exam might
follow were also more "theoretical" questions can be presented to
the student.
Teaching tools
Blackboard, chalk, eraser, when simultaneously available.
