Anno XLV - n.2 - aprile/giugno 2012 Induzione elettromagnetica: un possibile percorso didattico
Physics textbooks describe electromagnetic induction phenomena with the simple calculation rule called ‘flux law’ but Maxwell’s general law of electromagnetic induction law, based on the vector potential and invariant for Lorentz’s transformations, shows that the induced emf is the consequence of time variations of the vector potential and the motion of electric charges in a magnetic field.

Anno XXV - n.4 - ottobre/dicembre 1992 Insegnamento della relatività ristretta attraverso una computer conference
A computer conference dealing with special relativity is presented and the involvement in the course of Physics students at the University of Pavia is briefly described. […]
Anno XL - n.1 - gennaio/marzo 2007 Insegnare e divulgare (Una congettura elementare e due culture)
The role of language in science popularisation and teaching is examined. Some difficulties in going from an ‘elaborative’ (formalized, mathematical) language to a ‘communicative’ (colloquial, everyday) language are discussed. The activation of a primordial form of communication used in early childhood called ‘mentalese’, […]
