Reference texts	Slides provided by the teacher
Educational objectives	At the end of the course the students will know the fundamentals of informatics on compuetr architecture, memories, input/output devices. The students will be able to use the fundamental operations of a comnputer, will be able to create and delete folders, browsing the file system, manage the connected devises. He/She will be able to use the main functions of worprocessing, like for example create and update a document using base formatting functions that also includes images and tables. He/She will be able to use the main functions of spreadsheets, like for example import and organize data, create charts and plots, create simple functions and use statistical functions. He/She will be able to use the main functions of softwares thatt can be used to prepare a presentation with simple formatting and graphical effects.
Teaching methods	Face to face lessons in class and practical lessons in laoratory

Hours	30 ore - Helios Vocca
Learning activities	Base
Area	Discipline applicate agli studi medico-veterinari
Academic discipline	FIS/07
Type of study-unit	Obbligatorio (Required)
Language of instruction	Italian
Contents	Kinematics and dynamics of the point. The concept of energy and entropy. Statics and dynamics of fluids. Waves and sound. Elements of thermodynamics. Electricity and magnetism. Electromagnetic radiation.
Reference texts	- E. Ragozzino, Elementi di Fisica, ed. EdiSES, Napoli - D. Scannicchio, Fisica Biomedica, ed. EdiSES, Napoli - The teacher will provide the digital files of the presentations regarding the lectures arguments.
Educational objectives	Provide students with the basics of the main topics of classical physics with particular reference to the implications for the organic sector. Students should acquire the capacity to logical reasoning and analytical analysis of what they will face in the following courses, in veterinary career, and in everyday life. They will be able to ask the right questions in order to address unforeseen situations and to avoid incurring in both logical and practical gross mistakes.
Teaching methods	Lectures will be made by using slides and movies. The practical lessons will be dedicated to revision and depth of issues also proposed by the students and that could involve students themselves.
Extended program	Lectures arguments: Presentation of the course. Physical quantities and the International System of Units. The motions, speed and acceleration. The forces and principles of dynamics. Work and energy. Liquids, gases and their applications in biology. Temperature, heat and internal energy. Electrical phenomena and applications. Optics, lenses and microscope. The sound and the waves. Ionizing radiation. The practical lessons are designed to help students in solving problems and exercises and in the observation of simple experiments.
