General Physics 3

The course of General Physics 3 has the purpose of providing the basic concepts of relativity and quantum mechanics. Its goal is a review of the basic concepts of classical mechanics and of electromagnetism under the light shed by relativity and quantum physics with special attention to fundamental and unifying issues of the physics research such as the conservation laws, the symmetries and their physical meaning with some openings also to some recent findings.

Mastery of the subject matter of the program; basic knowledge of special relativity and quantum mechanics; capacity of analysis and synthesis that allow students to discuss in qualitative and quantitative ways the description of some essential aspects of the physical description of our universe.
