The course aims to introduce students to the basic principles of experimental physics
The course aims to provide the basic principles of experimental physics by intuitively addressing the three main aspects: planning an experiment or a measurement, data analysis and presentation of the results also with the use of IT tools.
Upon completion of the course, the student will be able to critically evaluate the design and execution of simple laboratory experiences. He/she will be able to analyze the data obtained and present them appropriately
