Physics

The course is intended:
- To present the basis of the scientific method, with examples and discussions applied to Physics topics.
- To provide a fundamental knowledge on Classical Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Fluids Mechanics, Surface properties, Electromagnetism, Geometrical Optics, with examples and applications to Medical and Dentistry contexts. The course foresees also discussion and application of the methods used to solve simple exercises.
- To present and discuss the physical basis of the main diagnostic methods used in Medicine and Dentistry (RX, TAC, Ecography, NMR, etc.).

The student will learn the basis of Classical Dynamics, Thermodynamics, Fluids Mechanics, Surface properties, Electromagnetism, Geometrical Optics, with specific examples and applications to Medical and Dentistry contexts. The acquired methodological and scientific knowledge will result useful in following studies, as for example in Physiology, when studying the Mechanics of Mastication or Mechanical Properties of Materials used in Dentistry, etc.
