The aim of the course is to provide students with the fundamental concepts of physics while conveying, at the same time, the logical-deductive tools necessary to arrive at a full understanding of the topics presented. Students will have to acquire the basic principles of the scientific method that combines the experimental approach with a mathematical-deductive approach. Particular attention will be paid to the critical and historical analysis of the concepts on which a scientific theory is based. The course also aims to provide the basis for understanding the physical principles involved in some biological processes and in the applications of some physical methodologies in the biomedical field.

Expected learning outcomes
Knowledge and ability to understand. To have developed the knowledge of the fundamental principles of Physics and of the relative methodologies. Ability to apply knowledge and understanding. Knowing how to use the concepts learned even in contexts different from those presented. Autonomy of judgment. Develop critical analysis skills and be able to solve new problems even if similar to those discussed in class. Communication skills. Students' ability to discuss the implications of concepts presented in class and the possible questions that may emerge from the topics discussed will be stimulated. Learning ability. Being able to discuss fundamental scientific topics of Physics and its applications. This skill will be developed and verified by involving students in oral discussions in the classroom.
