PHYSICS

Learn the basic laws of classical physics. Be able to express the relations between physics quantities in the framework of the SI. Know some of the measuring instruments, the related working principle and the proper way to use such measuring instruments. Acquire the physics knowledge preparatory to the following teachings planned for the present degree course.

Ex cathedra teaching + exercises

As a guarantee of equal opportunities and in compliance with current laws, interested students can ask for a personal interview in order to plan any compensatory and/or dispensatory measures, based on their specific needs and on teaching objectives of the discipline.
It is also possible to ask the departmental contacts of CInAP (Center for Active and Participatory Integration - Services for Disabilities and/or DSAs), in the persons of professors Giovanna Tropea Garzia and Anna De Angelis.
