Random Walks in Biology

<p>This book is a lucid straightforward introduction to the concepts and techniques of statistical physics that students of biology biochemistry and biophysics must know. It provides a sound basis for understanding random motions of molecules subcellular particles or cells or of processes that depend on such motion or are markedly affected by it. Readers do not need to understand thermodynamics in order to acquire a knowledge of the physics involved in diffusion sedimentation electrophoresis chromatography and cell motility--subjects that become lively and immediate when the author discusses them in terms of random walks of individual particles.</p>
