The pre-physics course is designed to help the students who may not be well prepared in subjects as physics and mathematics. Subjects as arithmetic, algebra, geometry and trigonometry, as well as techniques as handling of graphs, equations and problem-solving, all of the aforesaid within a physical context, analyzing simple situations in terms of optics, kinematics, dynamics, acoustics and electromagnetism.

The seminar is presented weekly with a physics-related issue concerning recent research and developments.

The colloquium is presented weekly with a physics-related issue related to recent research and developments.

Fundamental magnitudes and definitions. Kinematics in one and two dimensions. Mechanics. Newton´s Laws. Forces in Biology. Work and Energy. Law of conservation of energy, law of moment, law of angular momentum. Center of mass. Ideal fluid mechanics.

Measures and error calculation. Linear regressions. One-dimension kinematics. Forces.Friction force. Potential Energy (vertical throw). Two-dimension collisions. Uniform Circular motion. Archimedes principle. Hydrodynamics. Behavior of gas at a constant volume. Specific heats of solids.

The aim of the course is to help the student develop a critical attitude towards the solution of scientific and practical problems. The student will be introduced to the scientific method through the study of the laws of mechanic, including kinematics in one and two dimensions, Newton´s laws, conservation laws, rotational motion, gravitation and har- monic motion, at a level suitable for beginning undergraduates. The experiments performed during the semester will help the student to better understand the concepts in mechanics acquired in the theory class and to relate real physical phenomena with the models used to describe them.

The aim of the course is to help the student to further develop his/ her understanding of the scientific method and hence to develop a critical attitude. This is achieved through the study of the basic laws of thermodynamics and electromagnetism and their applications to situations of actual physical interest.

The aim of the course is to further develop the student´s ability to perform a physics experiment and to analyze the measured data. Furthermore, the student will have the opportunity to design an experiment from scratch. The experiments to be performed correspond to the topics covered in the theory course (thermal physics and electromagnetism.

In this course we apply, at an introductory level, the classic mechanics of fluids. We also study the behavior of still fluids (hydrostatics), fluids in movement (hydrodynamics) and vibration (waves). The undulating phenomena are deeply studied through the use of cases as sound and light.

In this course we conduct experiments related to topics studied in the course Waves and Fluids, as hydrostatics, hydrodynamics, optics and acoustics. We also work with some electrical circuits that allow comparing oscillating systems.

In this course we study fields of Physics that have appeared during the 20th century, as Relativity, Quantum Mechanics and the matter´s structure: the atom, the molecule, the macroscopic matter in solid state, the atomic nuclei, the elemental particles, and some applications as the laser and nuclear energy. This is an introductory-level course.

In this course we will conduct some experiments proven to have played an important role in the development of modern physics. The students will learn the functioning of the equipments, how data is taken and analyzed, and how the results are interpreted.
