CODE 52452 ACADEMIC YEAR 2024/2025 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 1 SCIENZA DEI MATERIALI 11634 (L-SC.MAT.) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR FIS/01 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 1° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: MECHANICS AND THERMODYNAMICS TEACHING MATERIALS AULAWEB AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES After an introduction to vector and infinitesimal calculus, the module aims to provide basic knowledge of classical physics: point and system mechanics AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES The course aims to provide students with tools for addressing the phenomena of classical mechanics and thermodynamic and for resolving exercises and problems, with particular attention to topics of practical and applicative interest. In particular, the aim is to train students in the scientific method at the base of classical physics, and appropriately characterize the observables and the quantities in play and the laws governing their evolution. Students will be able to solve problems of mechanics and thermodynamics of growing complexity, using the mathematical tools they learn during the year. TEACHING METHODS Frontal lessons. Exercises. The material used during the lessons is provided to students via Aulaweb. Several exercises are also provided, as well as examples of written exams of previous years. Innovative teaching methods are used during the course SYLLABUS/CONTENT Introduction: physical quantities, units of measurements, uncertainties. Mechanics: cinematic laws of the motion of a material point; dynamics and forces. Complex systems. Laws of gravitation.

The written exams proposed a set of problems and exercises of varying difficulty covering the topics dealt with during the year. Oral exams typically last 20 to 40 minutes with questions aimed at verifying the understanding of the laws of mechanics and thermodynamics. This structure allows the examining commission to evaluate the level of knowledge reached by students. The final note is the average of the written and oral exams. ASSESSMENT METHODS To help students evaluate their preparation during the semesters, simulations of exams without notes assigned are organized, with proposed exercises similar to those of the real exams. At the end of each semester, facultative written half-exams are held Exam schedule Data appello Orario Luogo Degree type Note 27/01/2025 14:30 GENOVA Scritto 29/01/2025 09:30 GENOVA Orale 17/02/2025 09:30 GENOVA Scritto 20/02/2025 09:30 GENOVA Orale 18/06/2025 09:30 GENOVA Scritto 20/06/2025 09:30 GENOVA Orale 15/07/2025 09:30 GENOVA Scritto 21/07/2025 09:30 GENOVA Orale 12/09/2025 09:30 GENOVA Scritto 17/09/2025 09:30 GENOVA Orale FURTHER INFORMATION Students who have valid certification of physical or learning disabilities on file with the University and who wish to discuss possible accommodations or other circumstances regarding lectures, coursework and exams, should speak both with the instructor and with Professor Sergio Di Domizio (sergio.didomizio@unige.it), the Department’s disability liaison.
