| dc.description | Biophysics is a very broad subject. Nearly every branch
of physics has something to contribute, and the boundaries
between physics and engineering are blurred. Each chapter
could be much longer; we have attempted to provide the es-
sential physical tools. Molecular biophysics has been almost
completely ignored: excellent texts already exist, and this is
not our area of expertise. This book has become long enough.
We would appreciate receiving any corrections or sugges-
tions for improving the book.
Finally, thanks to our long-suffering families. We never
understood what these common words really mean, nor the
depth of our indebtedness, until we wrote the book. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | This book is the result of my having taught such a course
since 1973. It is intended to serve as a text for an intermediate
course taught in a physics department and taken by a variety
of majors. Since its primary content is physics, I hope that
physics faculty who might shy away from teaching a conven-
tional biophysics course will consider teaching it. I also hope
that research workers in biology and medicine will find it a use-
ful reference to brush up on the physics they need or to find
a few pointers to the current literature in a number of areas of
biophysics. (The bibliography in each chapter is by no means
exhaustive; however, the references should lead you quickly into
a field.) The course offered at the University of Minnesota is
taken by undergraduates in a number of majors who want to see
more physics with biological applications and by graduate stu-
dents in physics, biophysical sciences, biomedical engineering,
physiology, and cell biology. | en_US |
