Is Biological Physics well defined? A pragmatic answer is along the lines of what the late Sir Sam Ed-wards (former Cavendish professor, and pioneer of polymer phys-ics) was fond of saying: “Physics is what physicists do”.
tour of basic length, time, & number scales in biology Today: • “trying to explain why #s have the values they do often ends up being an engine of discovery.” — Cell Biology by the Numbers (Milo & Phillips) http://book.bionumbers.org/ Why? • #s impose strong constraints on what physical processes are relevant
Follow suggestions and think about the questions in the notes. These are distributed through the text to help you spot if you are understanding the material. Expect to study only from these notes. You will need the other main references and attendance to lectures.
These are notes for the Part III ’soft and biological physics’ course jointly convened between the Cavendish Laboratory and the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics.
