ECTS Prerequisites General Physics belongs to the core course module of the Degree of Telecommunication Technologies and Services Engineering. To do this subject, it is strongly advisable that students have taken the physics course corresponding to high school degree. Students must also have basic Knowledge in different mathematical topics, such as: trigonometry, algebra, geometry, arithmetic operations and power calculations. Furthermore, advanced knowledge of Spanish and basic knowledge of English are needed to attend this course. 1 de 6

2 1.9. Minimum attendance requirement As a general rule, the students enrolled in this course will be assessed by using a continuous assessment method. However, students could be assessed via a single test in exceptional circumstances, which have to be justified previously by them. The use of a continuous assessment method involves carrying out of several modulate tests by the students. Test dates could be scheduled in advance by the professor or they could be set without notice. The unexcused absence in any of these tests will be graded with zero points. Furthermore, students will be invited to solve several conceptual questions and problems during the lecture sessions; therefore student attendance at these sessions is strongly recommended. On the other hand, the professor could ask to the students to write a brief work about some of the fundamental physics concepts covered in this course Faculty data Professor: Prof. Dr. D. Oscar Bomatí Miguel Despacho 506, Módulo 12 Departamento de Física Aplicada Facultad de Ciencias Calle Francisco Tomás y Valiente 7, Madrid Phone: oscar.bomati@uam.es Web: Tutorship hours: Students will be attended by scheduled appointment Course objectives The main objective of this course is to provide to students with a background of basic physics concepts, which allows them to understand the general laws of mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity and magnetic fields and electromagnetic radiation.
