It is a basic introductory course in methods of Physics, as they apply in Biotechnology, comprised of three units.

The course aims at introducing students to the basic techniques of physics that are essential background when using technological/digital tools for detailed laboratory and research studies. The material focuses on areas of physics that are directly relevant to biotechnology.

Upon successful completion of the course the students

(1) will be able to perceive basic electrical symbols and signals used in electrical circuit analysis, to understand ideal electrical circuit elements, gaining knowledge of basic analysis methods so becoming able to analyze and synthesize electrical circuits, including applications of amplifiers in general and operational amplifiers in particular.
(2) will be able to perceive the meaning of digital images, will become familiar with basic methods and mathematical tools related to image processing-analysis of digital images, will be informed about the different application fields, such as biomedical imaging, and will be able to apply techniques of digital image analysis-processing in an educational laboratory as well as in a research environment.
(3) will be able to perceive basic principles and methods of Molecular Simulation, to assess the applications of Molecular Simulation methods and recommend them for specific projects, utilizing Molecular Simulation tools.
