Overview

A reissue of a 3-volume set of classic books, newly edited and typeset to be published in the Biological Physics Series. Intended for undergraduate courses in biophysics, biological physics, physiology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering, these books are introductions to mechanics, statistical physics, and electricty and magnetism with examples and problems from the medical and biological sciences. The books can be used as supplements to standard introductory physics courses, and as texts for medical schools, medical physics courses, and biology departments. The three volumes combined present all the major topics in physics.Originally published in 1974 from the authors's typescript, these reissues will be edited, corrected, typeset, the art redrawn, and an index added. These books are being reissued by Springer in the Biological Physics Series in response to frequent requests to provide these texts to satisfy the growing need among students and practitioners in the medical and biological sciences with a working knowledge of the physical sciences. The books are also in demand in physics departments either as supplements to traditional intro texts or as main text for those departments offering courses with biological or medical physics orientation. Solutions manuals will be available. The authors are recognized experts in the field, and are under contract for an upperlevel/grad text in biological physics. Benedeck was the recepient of the 1995 Irving Lanmuir Prize from the American Physical Society for Chemical Physics, and the 1994 Biological Physics Prize by the American Physical Society.
