Physics Informatics and Statistics
A.Y. 2023/2024
Learning objectives
The teaching aims to provide students:
1. Understanding the methodological process of physics as basis of the scientific learning;
2. To know the fundamental principles of physics and their implications in the biomedical field, with particular reference to some topics of relevance for the propaedeuticity for the subsequent courses: forces and their balance, work and energy, conservation principles, mechanics of fluids, surface tension, principles of thermodynamics, basic concepts of electricity and magnetism, radiation and radiation protection;
3. Ability to solve simple physics problems on topics more directly related to the biomedical field and ability to give quantitative evaluations of the phenomena analyzed;
4. To provide the basis of descriptive and inferential statistics
5. Being trained on the organization of a hospital information system, on the CRS-SISS regional project and on Microsoft Excel.
