Description
This graduate-level introduction to quantitative concepts and methods in the science of living systems provides a systems approach for understanding physical principles operating in biology. Physical phenomena are treated at the appropriate spatio-temporal scale, using phenomenological equations to reflect the system of interest.
The book bridges the gap between general physics courses and research papers published in professional journals, giving students the foundations needed for independent research in biological physics and collaborations aimed at quantitative biology and biomedical research. Modern mathematical and theoretical physics methods are also covered, providing a broad knowledge of tools that can shed light on sophisticated mechanisms brought forth by evolution in biological systems.
The content reflects the authors' experience as leading researchers and teachers in this field, covering many aspects of active research over the past twenty years.
