Course Objectives

The educational objectives are aimed at stimulating the student to
acquire a basic knowledge of Physics and scientific method and to learn
how to apply this knowledge in case studies.
At the end of the course the student will be able to produce simple
models of physical processes, to provide a qualitative description of the
salient aspects of the processes trough mathematical description, and to
formulate logical and functional connections across the studied topics.
The student will also be able to manipulate these ideas and methods in a
manner appropriate to the scientific training and professional needs.

Course Prerequisites

Basics elements of trigonometry; Elements of Algebra.

Teaching Methods

Given the educational objectives of the course, the teaching process will
be highly interactive. The topics and the problems will be presented with
a top-down approach, and the students will be involved in formulating
hypotheses and making contributions.

Assessment Methods

Written exam. Additional oral exam upon request.
