Book Overview
This text bridges the gap between introductory physics and its application to the life sciences. There are many topics treated in this wide-ranging book. The fourth edition is updated throughout to reflect new developments; the discussion of theory is more closely linked to experiment; a discussion of stochastic processes is added; the discussions of anatomy and biology are expanded. The text includes many problems to test the student's understanding, and chapters include useful bibliographies for further reading. Its minimal prerequisites and wide coverage make it ideal for self-study, as well as a useful reference for workers in medical and biological research.

A Great Textbook for Medical Physics
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is an ideal textbook for an introductory level medical physics/biomedical engineering course for juniors and seniors. When I used this textbook to teach an introductory level medical physics class, I found it to be rich in biological and medical materials, and hardly referred my students to other textbooks. It includes most of the derivations that students need to know and plenty of problems for them. The authors have done a great service for the students by explaining required physics concepts in the textbook.
A must KEEP for physicists working in biology!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology, 4th Edition (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering) has proven to be a most useful tool in crossing the lines between physics and biology. As a recent graduate of Medical Physics now doing a postdoc with MD's, I find myself reaching for some section of it time and time again; both to help me understand their perspective as well as to better communicate mine. It is not only a must have, it is a MUST KEEP!
A must-read for physicists interested in biology
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology (Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering) is now in its fourth edition, and gets better every time. This is the ideal starting place for biologists who need to use physics to explain something biological or physiological, or physicists who want to apply quantitative physics theories or techniques to biological phenomena or delve into medical or biological physics. The derivations and illustrations are clear and useful, and the book provides detailed explanations rather than just decreeing the applicable equation for a particular phenomenon. The rich set of problems makes it an ideal textbook for physics or biomedical engineering or quantitative biology; the breadth of the material makes it a wonderful reference book.
