Mathematics and Physics

The purpose of the Physics unit of the Course is to illustrate the basic principles of fundamental Physics (mechanics, thermodynamics, electricity), to show their relevance by examples taken from familiar situations, and to enable students to solve some simple problems involving the applications of these principles. The course of Mathematics and Statistics is aimed at introducing students to quantitative aspects of modern biology and to the application of statistics in animal science. In order to understand the topics covered by the Course, students should have a good knowledge of elements of basic Mathematics such as fractions, powers, algebraic equations of 1st and 2nd degree, formulas for areas and volumes of simple figures and solid bodies, and the concept and graphical representation of mathematical functions.

The studen twill demonstrate to get the basic knowledge of the the topics covered in the course and to be able to apply, using an adequate logical process, such knowledge to the resolution of simple problems of physics and statistics
