- Educational objectives
- Knowledge and understanding of the fundamental laws and principles of¿mechanics (of point mass, point mass systems, rigid body, and fluids),¿thermodynamics and electromagnetism.¿Ability to use the acquired theoretical knowledge for handling with¿methodological rigor the physical problems that arise in the medical field.¿Ability to relate to a problem with a logical, critical, and creative attitude,¿identifying the physical principles that underlie the problem.
- Prerequisites
- basic knowledge of algebra, trigonometry and mathematical analysis
- Teaching methods
- Face-to-face lectures on all topics of the course (exercises included).
- Other information
- None
- Learning verification modality
- The exam consists of a written test and an oral test.¿The examination is aimed at assessing the degree of knowledge and¿understanding, the ability to apply the acquired competences to the¿biomedical field, and the quality of presentation (clarity, coherence,¿scientific accuracy, completeness, ability to synthesize).¿The written test has a duration of 2 hours and includes both numerical¿exercises and open questions on the topics of the course. Once the¿written test has been passed, the student takes an oral test to¿demonstrate his skills and abilities (in particular, the dialectical ability¿and the property of language) also on non-numerical problems.¿The evaluations of the written and the oral tests equally contribute to the¿final evaluation.¿Information and support for special needs students can be found at the¿website: https://www.unipg.it/en/international-students/generalinformation/facilities-for-special-needs-students
