Download or read book Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences written by Simon Mochrie and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-04-05 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
Download or read book Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences Mechanics Volume One written by David V. Guerra and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-08 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook provides an accessible introduction to physics for undergraduate students in the life sciences, including those majoring in all branches of biology, biochemistry, and psychology and students working on pre-professional programs such as pre-medical, pre-dental, and physical therapy. The text is geared for the algebra-based physics course, often named College Physics in the United States. The order of topics studied are such that most of the problems in the text can be solved with the methods of Statics or Dynamics. That is, they require a free body diagram, the application of Newton’s Laws, and any necessary kinematics. Constructing the text with a standardized problem-solving methodology, simplifies this aspect of the course and allows students to focus on the application of physics to the study of biological systems. Along the way, students apply these techniques to find the tension in a tendon, the sedimentation rate of red blood cells in haemoglobin, the torques and forces on a bacterium employing a flagellum to propel itself through a viscous fluid, and the terminal velocity of a protein moving in a Gel Electrophoresis device. This is part one of a two-volume set; volume 2 introduces students to the conserved-quantities and applies these problem-solving techniques to topics in Thermodynamics, Electrical Circuits, Optics, and Atomic and Nuclear Physics always with continued focus on biological applications. Key Features: Organised and centred around analysis techniques, not traditional Mechanics and E&M. Presents a unified approach, in a different order, meaning that the same laboratories, equipment, and demonstrations can be used when teaching the course. Demonstrates to students that the analysis and concepts they are learning are critical to the understanding of biological systems.
Download or read book Physics in the Life Sciences Physics for Life Science Students written by Robijn Bruinsma and published by World Scientific Publishing Company. This book was released on 2025-05-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides undergraduate life science students taking a general physics class with physics that is directly relevant to the life sciences. It develops the basic concepts of physics in a manner that they can be directly used to explain the 'engineering' of living organisms, from the operation of the skeleton to the interaction between DNA and proteins. Topics such as the physics of statics, elasticity, fluids, and physical chemistry that are rich in life-science applications are emphasized. A clear understanding of this material should provide students with a solid foundation for future biochemistry, molecular biology, and physiology students. It should prepare life science students for tests, such as the MCAT exam.
