Fisica (Physics) — Course Notes

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.


Repository overview

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.

.
├── fisica.tex           # Main LaTeX entrypoint
├── references.bib       # Bibliography (biblatex + biber)
├── chapters/            # One LaTeX file per chapter
├── frontmatter/         # Preface, license page, metadata
├── images/              # Figures used throughout the notes
└── README.md

chapters/ — Course notes

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.


Compiled PDF

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

Build instructions

Requirements

  • A LaTeX distribution (TeX Live or MiKTeX)
  • latexmk
  • biber (used by biblatex)

Compile the notes

From the repository root:

latexmk -pdf -shell-escape -interaction=nonstopmode -synctex=1 -output-directory=out fisica.tex

Clean build files

latexmk -c -output-directory=out

Notes on usage

  • 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.

Contribute

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)

Issues

If you find an error, ambiguity, or have a suggestion:

  1. Open a GitHub Issue
  2. 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

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.
