Physical Theory In Biology: Foundations And Explorations PDF

What is the physics of life and why does it matter?

The essays in this book probe this question, celebrating modern biology's vibrant dialog with theoretical physics - a scientific adventure in which biological understanding is enriched by physical theory without losing its own inherent traditions and perspectives.

The book explores organic complexity and self-organization through research applications to embryology, cell biology, behavioral neuroscience, and evolution.

The essays will excite the interest of physics students in thinking about biology's "grand challenges", in part by means of self-contained introductions to theoretical computer science, symmetry methods in bifurcation theory, and evolutionary games.

Seasoned investigators in both the physical and life sciences will also find challenging ideas and applications presented in this volume.This is a Print On Demand title.
