Review:
Bringing New Tools to the Study of Biology

In recent years physicists have been developing a series of statistical tools that help them to understand how large groups of things operate. Even more recently some of these same techniques have begun to be applied to biological concepts and to the modelling of complex biological processes. The techniques use the standard physical concepts of force, energy, and entropy but apply them to life processes.

Dr. Sneppen is a professor of biophysics. He is a theorist who teaches on the physics of biological system and mathematical biology. Dr. Zocchi teaches biophysics at advanced undergraduate and graduate level at UCLA. This book is intended as a text for third or fourth year study in the physics department undergraduate school. It is written from the standpoint of the physicist and should serve as an introduction to the merger of the physical and biological sciences. Obviously some background in statistics and biology will help the student, but it is not required.
