Objectives

TP and P courses: After de revision of the necessary mathematical concepts, the objective is to present the Newtonian mechanics, trying to stimulate students to understand concepts and not to apply formulas automatically. The students are induced to develop their capabilities so important to the professional career.

Program

Theoretical courses:
Introduction to physics:
the dimension of a physical quantity, standards and units.
The mathematical language in physics:
coordinate systems and frames of reference; brief revision of vector concept and vector calculation; revision of differentiation and introduction of: partial differentiation, indefinite and definite integrals, presented in an intuitive and operational form.

Physics contents:
Motion in one dimension
Motion in two dimensions
Newton's laws
Work and energy
Conservation of energy
Impulse and linear momentum
Conservation of linear momentum
Systems of particles
Rotation
Angular momentum

Teaching methods and learning activities

The concepts are presented in a rigorous form, the lecture are performed using both blackboard and overhead transparencies projection, discussion is encouraged, deduction is referred as solving strategy of problems.
The problems are choose to clarify the conceptual understanding and to show modern physics application. In the P class, some of the problems proposed are solved and discussed.
Laboratory experiments are conduced in a hands-on post analysis situation.

Calculation formula of final grade

The final evaluation, CF, is calculated, if CE≥9.5 by the expression

CF= (0.60)*CE + (0.40)IP

IP - evaluation from the P classes
CE - mini tests evaluation (4 each semester)

Special assessment (TE, DA, ...)
