Mochrie, Simon.

Introductory physics for the life sciences[electronic resource] /by Simon Mochrie, Claudia De Grandi. - Cham :Springer International Publishing :2023. - xxiv, 847 p. :ill., digital ;24 cm. - Undergraduate texts in physics,2510-4128. - Undergraduate texts in physics..

Chapter 1. Vectors and kinematics -- Chapter 2. Force and momentum: Newton's laws and how to apply them -- Chapter 3. Energy, work, geckos, and ATP -- Chapter 4. Probability distributions: Mutations, cancer rates and vision sensitivity -- Chapter 5. Random walks: Brownian motion and the tree of life -- Chapter 6. Diffusion: Membrane permeability and the rate of actin polymerization -- Chapter 7. Rates of change: drugs, infections, and weapons of mass destruction -- Chapter 8. Statistical Mechanics: Boltzmann factors, PCR, and Brownian ratchets -- Chapter 9. Fluid Mechanics: Laminar flow, blushing, and Murray's Law -- Chapter 10. Oscillations and resonance -- Chapter 11. Wave equations: Strings and wind -- Chapter 12. Gauss's law: Charges and electric fields -- Chapter 13. Electric potential, capacitors, and dielectrics -- Chapter 14. Circuits and dendrites: Charge conservation, Ohm's law, rate equations, and other old friends -- Chapter 15. Optics: refraction, eyes, lenses, microscopes, and telescopes -- Chapter 16. Biologic: Genetic circuits and feedback -- Chapter 17. Magnetic fields and Ampere's law -- Chapter 18. Faraday's law and electromagnetic induction -- Chapter 19. Maxwell's equations and then there was light.

This classroom-tested textbook is an innovative, comprehensive, and forward-looking introductory undergraduate physics course. While it clearly explains physical principles and equips the student with a full range of quantitative tools and methods, the material is firmly grounded in biological relevance and is brought to life with plenty of biological examples throughout. It is designed to be a self-contained text for a two-semester sequence of introductory physics for biology and premedical students, covering kinematics and Newton's laws, energy, probability, diffusion, rates of change, statistical mechanics, fluids, vibrations, waves, electromagnetism, and optics. Each chapter begins with learning goals, and concludes with a summary of core competencies, allowing for seamless incorporation into the classroom. In addition, each chapter is replete with a wide selection of creative and often surprising examples, activities, computational tasks, and exercises, many of which are inspired by current research topics, making cutting-edge biological physics accessible to the student.
