Physics

The course does not aim at teaching in a systematic and complete way a large corpus of General Physics; its goal is rather to let the students understand and comprehend a subset of the subject. The main objective is to learn how to analyze a problem with the approach and tools used by physics and to understand and use a physical approach to problem solving, also to develop small computational projects and/or to be able to learn more advanced topics

The students should learn a subset of physics that includes parts of mechanics and hydrodynamics, useful for the physics of videogames, apps and virtual reality, as well as some statistical physics. Moreover (s)he should develop an approach to problems that uses tools and methods typical of Physics, hence increasing the possibilities to analyze problems and solve them; this is useful for consulting, data science, and computer science.
