Illinois Physics 498: Introduction to Biological Physics
0.0 out of 5 stars
07 Apr 2008 | Courses | Contributor(s): Paul R Selvin
We will apply simple yet powerful ideas of physics to gain some understanding of biology. (What is the inertia of a bacteria and how does this affect its behavior?) We will begin with atoms, move to molecules, then macromolecules, then cells, and finally whole systems. For example, how do we...
