GENERAL PHYSICS I

Course objectives

Introduction to the fundamental concepts of Mechanics and Thermodynamics. Successful students will be able to deal with basic topics concerning Mechanics and Thermodynamics. They will become proficient and acquainted with subjects such as work, energy and conservation laws. Moreover, they will be able to face and solve problems of Mechanics and Thermodynamics by applying the main laws of Physics. In order to achieve these goals and to help the student to develop the ability to communicate the acquired knowledge, while also learning how to work autonomously, we plan to ask general and specific questions (related to the subject) during the theoretical lectures. During the exercise sessions, on the other hand, students will be asked to solve selected exercises on the board.
