Fisica I con laboratorio
About this Course
La Fisica è una scienza entusiasmante in un laboratorio grande come l’intero Universo. Tale disciplina permette di conoscere uno dei principali motori dello sviluppo del pensiero, lo studio dei fenomeni naturali, e di tradurlo in un linguaggio matematico. Essa rappresenta, infatti, il contesto più appropriato per capire l’origine e lo sviluppo di molte idee matematiche. Le lezioni qui proposte hanno l’ambizione di superare il semplice scopo di fornire nozioni per una formazione scientifica qualificata o per l’insegnamento. La successione degli argomenti è quella consolidata: la parte di meccanica comprende lo studio del moto (cinematica) e delle sue cause (la dinamica), inizialmente per il punto materiale e successivamente per i sistemi. Una breve trattazione di meccanica dei fluidi assicura la transizione allo studio dei fenomeni termici e ad alcune applicazioni della termodinamica. Un aspetto qualificante e originale del corso è l’attività di laboratorio, svolta in parallelo alla fenomenologia. Il laboratorio, infatti, evidenzia il legame fra i fenomeni e la loro interpretazione teorica e riporta lo studio della Fisica nel suo ambito più naturale e cioè quello sperimentale. Physics is an exciting science and its laboratory is the Universe itself. This is a discipline that enables you to understand one of the main drivers of human thinking, to study natural phenomena and to translate the results into mathematical formulae. Physics, in fact, is the ideal environment for understanding the origin and development of several mathematical ideas. The aims of this course go beyond fulfilling the requirements of an under-graduate or teaching certificate program. The range of the covered topics is rather classic. The mechanics, which concerns the motion both on kinematics and dynamics, starts with point like body and then continues with systems. A brief look at the mechanics of fluids leads on to the study of thermal phenomena and the applications of thermodynamics. One of the peculiar and salient aspects of this course are the laboratory sessions, which run alongside the theoretical lectures. The laboratory activity highlights the link between phenomena and their theoretical interpretation, and brings the study of Physics back to its natural environment which is the one of experimentation.Created by: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
