Course content
The discipline "Phase transitions in medical and biological systems" is a special discipline for students of the Faculty of Physics of the "Fundamental Medical Physics" specialization groups. It is taught in the eighth semester in the amount of 4 credits, including 40 hours of classroom classes, of which 40 hours are lectures, and 80 hours of independent work. It ends with credit in the eighth semester. The subject of the academic discipline "Phase transitions in medical and biological systems" includes the basics of the modern theory of phase transitions, the application of this theory to describe the behavior of systems under the influence of various external factors: temperature, external field, etc.
