PHYS 3264 - Physics for Life Sciences II#

4 Credit Hours
An introduction to the fundamental concepts, laws, and approaches of physics, with the emphasis on their applications to the life sciences. Part II focuses on thermodynamics, electromagnetism, and optics in physics. Their applications in membrane transport, electrophoresis, electric properties of neurons, membrane channel, nuclear magnetic resonance, electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Computed Tomography (CT) and so on are discussed. A small project will be assigned to students involving reading research papers, solving life science problems in real world, and writing a project report. Laboratory required.
