| Main themes |
In this first part, the course starts with some revisions of mathematics and elements of statistics. Then the following topics are treated : mechanics of the particle, mechanics of solids and fluids, periodic phenomena, thermal physics
|
| Aims |
Physics is considered as an experimental science based on the precise observation of reality and the collection of data whose interpretation is based on assumptions to be confirmed experimentally. The objective of this course is twofold. On the one hand, to instil into the students a good scientific approach and reasoning and on the other hand, to give to the students the elements necessary for a good understanding of the scientific matters the student will be confronted with later on. The course refers to many applications in medicine and biology.
