Summary:

Grodzinsky (biological, electrical, and mechanical engineering, Massachusetts Institute of Technology) presents an advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate textbook describing the fundamental driving forces for mass transport, electric current, and fluid flow as they apply to the biology and biophysics of molecules, cells, tissues, and organs. He explains how to apply basic mathematical and engineering tools across scales from molecular to membrane to tissues and in the areas of sensors, actuators, diagnostics, and microphysical measurement devices. Students are expected to have completed freshman physics, and to understand differential operators and equations at an undergraduate level. Garland Science is an imprint of Taylor & Francis Group.
