Almost all areas of modern life sciences integrally involve physics in both experimental techniques and in basic understanding of structure and function. Physics of the Life Sciences is not a watered-down, algebra-based engineering physics book with sections on relevant biomedical topics added as an afterthought. This authoritative and engaging text, which is designed to be covered in a two-semester course, was written with a thoroughgoing commitment to the needs and interests of life science students. Although covering most of the standard topics in introductory physics in a more or less traditional sequence, the author gives added weight and space to concepts and applications of greater relevance to the life sciences. Students benefit from occasional sidebars using calculus to derive fundamental relations, but only algebra and trigonometry are used to explore the basic physical concepts in the main body of the text and to solve end-of-chapter problems. 0aPHYSICS. 0aBIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING.14aPHYSICS.24aPHYSICS, GENERAL.24aBIOPHYSICS/BIOMEDICAL PHYSICS.2 aSpringerLink (Online service)0 tSpringer eBooks08iPrinted edition:z978038777258540uhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-0-387-77259-2zVer el texto completo en las instalaciones del CICY
