Physics

The aim of the course is to provide a basic introduction to classical physics, with particular attention to the system made by Earth, water and living organisms. To achieve this purpose, the traditional presentation of physical laws is sided by applications to natural systems taken from the world of life-sciences and earth-sciences . The phenomenological presentation of natural phenomena is frequently sided by short practical demonstrations in the classroom, followed by the formulation of quantitative models.

Students will gather the ability to apply simple quantitative models of classical Physics to natural systems.
