The course provides the student with an introduction to the scientific methodology. The course program consists in the Newtonian mechanics of the material point and of point systems, including an introduction to the dynamics and statics of rigid bodies. The student will become familiar with the basic models of classical physics and in particular with the definition of physical quantity and with the concepts of motion, force, work, energy, as well as with the role played by the corresponding conservation theorems. The student will be able to apply the concepts learned to the resolution of simple problems through an adequate analytical approach.
