Course Description
The aim of the course is to provide the basic information in order to help the students to understand the possible complicated problems in pharmacy. In this regard the basic principles and methods of solving the problems in physics are thought. The course provides a basic grounding in elementary physics including mechanics, electricity, optics, surface physics and thermodynamics, Newton's laws of motion and gravitation, the conservation laws of momentum and energy and collisions. The electric field, circuits, capacitors, electric potential and magnetic field are covered. Also reflection and refraction are considered. Surface tension and viscosity are thought in detail. Finally, basics of thermodynamics are given.
