Designed for biology, physics, and medical students, Introductory Biophysics: Perspectives on the Living State, provides a comprehensive overview of the complex subject of biological physics. The companion CD-ROM (eBook version does not include the CD-ROM), with MATLAB examples and the student version of QuickFieldTM, allows the student to perform biophysical simulations and 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. With this text students will be able to perform biophysical simulations within hours.MATLAB examples include the Hodgkin Huxley equations the FitzHugh-Nagumo model of action potentials fractal structures in biology chaos in population dynamics the cellular automaton model (the game of life) pattern formation in reaction-diffusion systems.QuickField™ tutorials and examples include calculation of currents in biological tissue cells under electrical stimulation induced membrane potentials heat transfer and analysis of stress in biomaterials.
