COMPUTER SCIENCE
The course aims to provide students with the tools of the scientific method, understanding and operational capabilities of the physics principles, with particular emphasis on topics that are used in biomedical field. Also, by the study of informatic basic pricliples, the course provides the students with a critical knowledge of the different phases constituting the measurement process until the data analysis.
