CODE 73225 ACADEMIC YEAR 2025/2026 CREDITS 6 cfu anno 1 INGEGNERIA NAVALE 11883 (L-9 R) - GENOVA SCIENTIFIC DISCIPLINARY SECTOR FIS/01 LANGUAGE Italian TEACHING LOCATION GENOVA SEMESTER 2° Semester MODULES Questo insegnamento è un modulo di: PHISYCS AIMS AND CONTENT LEARNING OUTCOMES Explain and analyze the fundamental concepts and laws of mechanics and electromagnetism in a vacuum. Understand the usefulness and limitations associated with the use of diagrams and models: - Use scientific language and formalism correctly - Recognize the applicability of schematizations and models in concrete situations - solve exercises and problems in the context of the course content and critically evaluate the results. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES To use the scientific formalism. To address real problems through suitable schematisations. To critically evaluate the solutions of problems and exercises. TEACHING METHODS Frontal lessons and exercises 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 professor of the course and with Professor Federico Scarpa (federico.scarpa@unige.it ), the Polytechnic School - Engineering's disability liaison.

Only one session at the end of the first semester; electromagnetism: 1 exercise + quizzes, only one session at the end of the second semester) Both must be passed with a score of at least 12/30 The candidate can choose to retake the written test (only comprehensive test, see point 1) if not satisfied with the result. However, in this case, the submission of the new paper cancels the previous results. In case of non-submission, the previous score is reduced by 1/30 Oral: The first question is chosen by the candidate on a topic from the course program (mechanics or electromagnetism). This will be followed by other questions posed by the committee. ASSESSMENT METHODS Guided classroom exercises. Periodical Exams. Total Exam Oral Test: First question, of the candidate's choice, on a topic from the course program (mechanics or electromagnetism), followed by other questions, of the teacher's choice.
