6. Illinois Physics 498: Introduction to Biological Physics

   0.0 out of 5 stars 

   Courses | 07 Apr 2008 | 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...
