This repository contains personal university notes in Physics, written in LaTeX and organized as a structured set of course chapters. The notes were created for study and revision purposes during a university-level Physics course and are not official lecture notes, but a personal re-elaboration of the material.
All of the content (text, figures, comments) is written in Italian.
The repository is centered around a single LaTeX project that compiles into a complete set of Physics notes, including figures, boxed formulas, and an indexed list of equations.

└── README.md
Each chapter is written as a standalone LaTeX file and included in fisica.tex.
Current topics include:
- Kinematics
- Dynamics
- Thermodynamics
- Waves
- Quantum Mechanics
The structure is designed to be modular and easily extendable with additional chapters or appendices.
After compilation, the full document is available as:
out/fisica.pdf
The PDF includes:
- A custom-designed cover page
- Table of contents
- Numbered and boxed equations
- An index of equations
- Figures and explanatory text
- A LaTeX distribution (TeX Live or MiKTeX)

From the repository root:
latexmk -pdf -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 -output-directory=out fisica.texlatexmk -c -output-directory=out- All figures are stored in
images/and referenced throughout the chapters. - On the first compilation, some cross-references may appear as undefined; a second LaTeX/Biber run resolves them automatically.
- The notes reflect the author’s understanding and organization of the material and may differ in style or emphasis from official lecture notes.
Contributions are welcome and appreciated 🙂
Since these notes are a personal re-elaboration of the course material, issues and pull requests are encouraged, especially for:
- Typographical errors or LaTeX issues
- Incorrect or unclear explanations
- Improvements to figures or diagrams
- Minor clarifications or additional comments
- Consistency fixes (notation, formatting, references)
If you find an error, ambiguity, or have a suggestion:
- Open a GitHub Issue
- Clearly describe:
- the chapter and section involved,
- the problem or suggestion,
- (optionally) a proposed fix.
This helps keep track of improvements and discussions in a structured way.
Pull requests are welcome for small, well-scoped changes.
Guidelines:
- Keep changes focused and relevant to the notes.
- Follow the existing LaTeX structure and style.
- Make sure the document still compiles correctly.
- If possible, reference the related issue in the PR description.
By contributing, you agree that your changes will be released under the same license as the rest of the project.
