The aim of this course is to treat the basic concepts of classical Physics and, in particular, mechanics, thermology and electromagnetism, to illustrate the scientific method and to teach the appropriate language for the following courses. The method and the knowledge acquired allow the student to apply physical and chemical technologies to solve problems in the field of conservation and restoration of Cultural Heritage.
Course Prerequisites
Basic concepts of mathematics and geometry
Teaching Methods
- Front side lectures. - Widespread adoption of audio and video materials focusing on the tackled argument. - Adoption of interactive applet used as virtual laboratories.
Assessment Methods
Oral exam conducted on a topic chosen by the student. The topic must be of interest to the candidate's study program within the restoration course. The candidate will be required to make explicit connections between the exam topic and the subjects covered during the lessons.
Texts
A text of General Physics suitable for the first year of scientific majors is suggested. Bibliography and specific teaching material are provided during the course by the lecturer.
Contents
Introduction: Physical quantities and their units. Elements of mathematics to quantify the measurements results.
