Physics Book

Appearing as three independent volumes, these new editions of classic textbooks provide an introduction to major topics in physics with examples and problems from the medical and biological sciences. Vol.1, Mechanics, covers standard topics of kinematics, dynamics, statics, momentum, feedback, and control and stability but with a consistent emphasis on physical and biological systems. Vol. 2, Statistical Physics, treats probability, Poisson statistics, thermal equilibrium, entropy and free energy, and the second law of thermodynamics. Vol. 3, Electricity and Magnetism, addresses electrostatic fields and potentials, currents, electrochemistry, bioelectricity, and electromagnetism. Intended for undergraduate courses in physics for students in biophysics, life sciences, biological physics, physiology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering. Chapters include problems and references. The books can be used as a supplement in standard introductory physics and biology courses, in medical physics courses, as a text in medical schools, or as a reference for practitioners. Together, the three volumes will present all the major topics in physics.
