45 lesson hours
Activity type
WRITTEN AND ORAL TEST
Prerequisites
Those required for admission and for understanding basic notions of Calculus, Geometry and Algebra.
Learning outcomes
The basic concepts of kinematics, dynamics of point masses and particle systems will be introduced in the first semester; the second semester deals with rigid bodies dynamics and statics, as well as thermodynamics. Students will be trained to problem solving with simple applicative exercises. The course emphasizes the importance of understanding basic principles, and encourages the students to affine their analytic and algebraic techniques for solving the proposed exercises.
Course contents
