Physics with Illustrative Examples from Medicine and Biology

Book Description
Intended for undergraduate courses in physics for students in biological physics, life sciences, biophysics, physiology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering, Physics with Illustrative Examples from Medicine and Biology covers all the standard topics of an introductory physics course in three volumes. This new edition of the classic set of books, originally published in 1974 from the authors' typescript, has been edited, updated, corrected, indexed, and typeset. It will satisfy the growing need for a working knowledge of the physical sciences among students and practitioners in the medical and biological sciences. The books can be used as supplements to standard introductory physics courses, as texts for medical schools, medical physics courses, and biology departments, and as a reference for practitioners. Chapters include problems and references. The authors are recognized experts in the field. Benedek was the recipient of the 1995 Irving Langmuir Prize from the American Physical Society's Division of Chemical Physics, and the 1994 Biological Physics Prize from the American Physical Society.

Appearing as three independent volumes, these new editions of classic textbooks provide an introduction to major topics in physics with examples and problems from the medical and biological sciences. Vol.1, Mechanics, covers standard topics of kinematics, dynamics, statics, momentum, feedback, and control and stability but with a consistent emphasis on physical and biological systems. Vol. 2, Statistical Physics, treats probability, Poisson statistics, thermal equilibrium, entropy and free energy, and the second law of thermodynamics. Vol. 3, Electricity and Magnetism, addresses electrostatic fields and potentials, currents, electrochemistry, bioelectricity, and electromagnetism. Intended for undergraduate courses in physics for students in biophysics, life sciences, biological physics, physiology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering. Chapters include problems and references. The books can be used as a supplement in standard introductory physics and biology courses, in medical physics courses, as a text in medical schools, or as a reference for practitioners. Together, the three volumes will present all the major topics in physics.
