Basic physics and mathematics

Lecture notes provided by the teacher.

Both the theorethical and the practical aspects of each physical problem included in the programme will be addressed in class. Also, intermediate tests to verify the state of the knowledge will be organized 'in itinere'.

Not mandatory but strongly encouraged

Written and oral exam. A sufficient mark at the written test is mandatory to acceed to the oral test.
