| Contents | Introduction to physics. Mechanics. Fluid mechanics. Waves and acoustics. Thermodynamics. Optics. Electricity and magnetism. Notes on radioactivity and modern physics. |
| Reference texts | D. Scannicchio, Fisica Biomedica, Edises. |
| Educational objectives | Know the fundamental concepts for the application of the Scientific Method to the study of biomedical phenomena: choice of parameters, evaluation of errors, data analysis. Describe the physical phenomena of complex systems using the appropriate mathematical tools and quantitatively evaluating the various processes. |
