Objectives
The aim of this course is to give students an overview of classical mechanics and electromagnetism, specifically in the areas of kinematics, Newtonian dynamics, conservative and non-conservative forces, wave motion and electromagnetism.
More specifically, the aim is for students to be able to identify and characterise the different types of forces, represent the force diagram and analyse the balance of forces. In addition, the aim is to gain an understanding of wave motion and electromagnetism. The approach is essentially analytical.

Evaluation Methodology
There are two types of assessment for this course.
1- Assessment by Frequency.
Frequency to be taken at the time of the Frequency Assessment (10 marks)
Completion of an assignment and its presentation and discussion in class on an assigned topic linked to the programme content of the course (10 marks).
Students must obtain a mark of 7 or more in each of the components to pass the course. If the student opts for continuous assessment and does not pass the course, he/she can only take one assessment period, a regular exam or an appeal exam.
2- Assessment by examination (Normal Season, Appeal Season and Special Season).
The student will be subject to a Final Exam, including a theoretical component and a theoretical-practical component (20 marks).
The student must obtain a mark of 7 or more in each of the components to pass the course.
The student will pass with a mark of 9.5.
