Duration :
46h Th, 16h Pr, 24h Mon. WS
Number of credits :
Bachelor in veterinary medicine7
Lecturer :
Alain Seret, David Strivay
Coordinator :
Alain Seret
Language(s) of instruction :
French language
Organisation and examination :
Teaching in the first semester, review in January
Units courses prerequisite and corequisite :
Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program
Learning unit contents :
Physics for first-year university students in life sciences : geometric optics, particle mechanics, solid mechanics, thermal physics, fluid mechanics, mechanical waves.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit :
See french version
Prerequisite knowledge and skills :
Vectors, units, kinematics and Newton's laws.
Basic mathematics (algebra, analyse, elements of geometry and trigonometry) are also needed.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
This learning unit make use of different leraning and teaching activities such as face-to-face courses and practical works where students are teached to the solving of exercices and the use of experimental devices. Experiments are performed in live and video documents are projected during the courses. They are full part of the course contents.
Effective presence at the practical works is mandatory and will be checked.
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
The theoretical course is face-to-face with active participation of the students for the solving of exercices. Much more active participation of the students is expected for the practical works.
Recommended or required readings :
Textbooks.
- "Optique: première approche" by A. Seret (2015). This book is distributed by Presses Universitaires de Liège (Liège, Belgium). A pdf file with short solutions to the exercices proposed in the book is also downloadable.
) The other parts of the lectures will be based on Physique by Benson (Edition De Boeck) and Physics of the Life Science de Newman (available via the ULg intranet on SpringerLink).
Exercice and (short) solutions manuals are also available at Presses Universitaires de Liège (Liège, Belgium). Some complementary exercices could be available from eCampus.
Laboratory manuals are downloadable from eCampus.
