This classroom-tested textbook is an innovative, comprehensive, and forward-looking introductory undergraduate physics course. While it clearly explains physical principles and equips the student with a full range of quantitative tools and methods, the material is firmly grounded in biological relevance and is brought to life with plenty of biological examples throughout.
It is designed to be a self-contained text for a two-semester sequence of introductory physics for biology and premedical students, covering kinematics and Newton's laws, energy, probability, diffusion, rates of change, statistical mechanics, fluids, vibrations, waves, electromagnetism, and optics.
Each chapter begins with learning goals, and concludes with a summary of core competencies, allowing for seamless incorporation into the classroom. In addition, each chapter is replete with a wide selection of creative and often surprising examples, activities, computational tasks, and exercises, many of which are inspired by current research topics, making cutting-edge biological physics accessible to the student.
Simon Mochrie has been on the faculty at Yale University since 2000 as a Professor Physics and of Applied Physics. For the last decade, his research has focused on the physics of living systems, during which period he also developed and taught the introductory physics for the life sciences course on which this book is based. In 2021, he was awarded Yale's Dylon Hixon '88 Prize for Teaching Excellence in the Natural Sciences for his teaching of this course.
Claudia De Grandi joined the Physics and Astronomy Department at University of Utah in 2018 as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) of Educational Practice. One of her main roles is to implement and promote evidence-based teaching pedagogies in introductory physics courses and improve the teaching quality and inclusiveness of physics and STEM courses more broadly. At the University of Utah, as well as previously as a Teaching Postdoctoral Scholar at Yale University, she has been working to reform the Introductory Physics curriculum for Life Sciences majors (pre-medical students and biology majors), both the lecture courses, as well as the laboratory ones. She was awarded the 2021-2022 College of Science Distinguished Educator Award.You may return most new, unopened items within 30 days of delivery for a full refund.
