These topics are discussed both from a theoretical point of view and with reference to different applicative examples. AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES Acquire skills to face simple electromagnetic problems in accordance with the syllabus. TEACHING METHODS Classes will be delivered in a hybrid format, simultaneously in person in the classroom and via live streaming on Microsoft Teams. Classes delivered synchronously online or in a hybrid format: 48 hours. Students with valid certifications for Specific Learning Disorders (SLDs), disabilities or other educational needs are invited to contact the teacher and the School's contact person for disability at the beginning of teaching to agree on possible teaching arrangements that, while respecting the teaching objectives, take into account individual learning patterns.
