Introductory Biophysics: Perspectives on the

Designed for biology, physics, and medical students, Introductory Biophysics: Perspectives on the Living State, provides a comprehensive overview of the of the complex subject of biological physics. The companion CD, with MATLAB examples and the student version of QuickfieldTM, allows the student the opportunity to perform biophysical simulations and the ability to modify the textbook example files. Included in the text are computer simulations of thermodynamics, astrobiology, the response of living cells to external fields, chaos in population dynamics, numerical models of evolution, electrical circuit models of cell suspension, gap junctions, and neuronal action potentials. MATLAB examples include: propagation of action potentials the Hodgkin Huxley equations fractal structures in biology the cellular automation model (the game of life)
