Quantitative Understanding of Biosystems : An Introduction to Biophysics

Description

Quantitative Understanding of Biosystems: An Introduction to Biophysics focuses on the behavior and properties of microscopic structures that underlie living systems. It clearly describes the biological physics of macromolecules, subcellular structures, and whole cells, including interactions with light.Providing broad coverage of physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics, this color text features:Mathematical and computational tools-graphing, calculus, simple differential equations, diagrammatic analysis, and visualization toolsRandomness, variation, statistical mechanics, distributions, a.
