Excerpt from An Introduction to Biophysics
As a result of the increased demands for physics by students whose primary interests lie in the biological sciences, this book has been written with the hope that it may lead to a fuller appreciation and understanding of the applications of physics to biological problems.
I trust that it will prove suitable as a textbook for mature students who have had a year's work in college mathematics followed by one year's study of the fundamental principles of physics and chemistry.
