About the Author
Philip Nelson is Professor of Physics at the University of Pennsylvania. He received Penn's School of Arts and Sciences' highest teaching award, and the Biophysical Society's Emily Gray award, for his work in biophysics education.
Review
"Philip Nelson has done a terrific job.... There are numerous traits that make this text unique among the very many books of biological physics.... The presentation of materials is developed in an innovative fashion.... There is a nice balance between conceptual examples and end-of-the-chapter problems.... This book shows a nice intercalation of fundamental laws, brief descriptions of computational strategies for acquiring quantitative information, as well as their implications in biological physics and areas beyond that, including signaling processes, genetic switches, and cellular oscillators.... Physical Models of Living Systems... will benefit undergraduates as well as others with interests in genomics, proteomics, cellular signaling, bioengineering, regenerative medicine, and synthetic biology." -- Liviu Movileanu in American Journal of Physics
Particularly compelling for its smooth integration of biological experiments, physical models, and computational exercises. Readers who complete the text will be well equipped with the computational and mathematical skills needed for a quantitative understanding of a range of biological systems.... Thanks to Nelson's skillful writing and the excellent accompanying online resources, this book will appeal to a broad audience and teach even a beginner how to solve problems numerically." -- Prof. Eva-Maria Collins in Physics Today
"[T]his excellent book will appeal to both students and professional scientists in the field of quantitative biology.... [T]he book feels personal in its selection of topics and the training journey on which it takes its readership. In our opinion, the combination of this uniqueness with technical accuracy makes the book a noteworthy and valuable addition to resources for advanced biophysics education... [T]he book conveys rich information, is clearly structured, and provides comprehensive data sets... Nelson shows how computational programming can be used effectively in modeling biological systems at the cellular and molecular levels." --Dietlind L. Gerloff and Jonghoon Kang in Cell Biology Education
Biological Physics, Physical Models of Living Systems, and From Photon to Neuron establish Nelson as the preeminent author of textbooks at the intersection of physics and biology.... Nelson uses words, pictures, formulas, and code to teach students how to construct models and interpret data. His books provide a master class in how to integrate those four different approaches into a complete learning experience." -- Brad Roth, in Physics Today magazine (1/1018)

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This textbook helps students develop many of the competencies that form the basis of the MCAT2015. The only prerequisite for this is first-year physics. With the more advanced "Track-2" sections at the end of each chapter, the book can be used in graduate-level courses as well. Written for intermediate-level undergraduates pursuing any science or engineering major, Physical Models of Living Systems, gives students the research skills they require but are often left unaddressed in traditional courses. Skills such as basic modeling, probabilistic modeling and data analysis methods. All of these basic skills, which are relevant to nearly any field of science or engineering, are presented in the context of case studies from living systems. This living systems include virus dynamics, bacterial genetics, statistical inference and synthetic biology. Written for intermediate-level undergraduates pursuing any science or engineering major, Physical Models of Living Systems helps students develop many of the competencies that form the basis of the new MCAT2015.
