Learning outcomes
At the end of the course, students know how to operate with real numbers, vectors and matrices; how to solve simple algebraic linear problems as well as simple problems involving derivatives and integrals.
They will attain a basic knowledge on statistical methods for data analysis: critically interpret and evaluate information of statistical nature (reading and comprehension of papers published in journal/publications relevant to the subject of the course); produce and analyze autonomously statistical data; apply statistical methods to describe quantitatively phenomena relevant from the biological and economical point o view.
They will learn the basics of physics; namely, they will understand the concepts of measures and their units, of experimental evidence and the basic laws of mechanics and electromagnetism, which will be useful in the successive studies in physiology.
Course contents
Mathematics:
Repeal of the basics of mathematical logic and of the et theory. Integer, rational, real and complex numbers. Basics on linear algebra: vectors and matrices, operations with vectors and matrices, matrix inversion and linear systems solutions. Basics of differential and integral calculus.
