The aim of the Physic part of the Integrated Course is to provide basic knowledges on the structure and ways of thinking and acting, typical of the scientific method.
In particular we want to achieve the following learning objectives: teaching students the methods and techniques of scientific investigation and analysis; to become familiar with the orders of magnitude of the typical values of the observables of the physical world; acquire the basic knowledge of kinematics and mechanics, both on solids and fluids, of thermodynamics, electrostatics, optics; introduce the concepts typical of the wave phenomena, provide a simple descriptive picture of the atomic structure of matter and some specific notions about ionizing radiation and their diagnostic and therapeutic uses. We also aim to make students able to solve simple problems concerning the issues mentioned.

Algebraic equations; analytic geometry; theorems on triangles and trigonometry; simple operational concepts of mathematical analysis: limit, derivative.

Lectures in Italian, and tests

No

Oral examination in Italian with verification of the acquisition of the concepts explained and their deduction; performing application exercises on the blackboard. The final vote is formulated after the oral examination, taking into account the skills and competences previously demonstrated in the practice of informatics and the writing of statistics which, by the way, do not involve any partial vote.
