20410802 - PHYSICS AND BASIC ELEMENTS OF MATHEMATICS

The course aims to provide the basic physical and mathematical helpful knowledge for developing a scientific background preparatory to understanding and deepening the characterizing disciplines of the Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. At the end of the course, the student will have a solid preparation in the fundamental aspects of mathematics and physics: basic analysis and geometry, physical quantities, units of measurement, thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, electromagnetism and hints of optics.
