Course objectives
At the end of this course the student will be able to understand the laws of classical physics, explain basic physical concepts, solve problems using theoretical knowledge, evaluate the results obtained by basic physical methods, apply the acquired knowledge from classical physics to the field of biophysics and medical physics.
Learning outcomes
The student will be able:
- individually formulate the general laws of physics
- explain specific physical phenomena on the basis of this knowledge
- solve simple examples and problems from classical physics
