Series: Biological and Medical Physics, Biomedical Engineering

A reissue of a 3-volume set of classic books, newly edited and typeset to be published
in the Biological Physics Series. Intended for undergraduate courses in biophysics,
biological physics, physiology, medical physics, and biomedical engineering, these books
are introductions to mechanics, statistical physics, and electricty and magnetism with
examples and problems from the medical and biological sciences. The books can be used
as supplements to standard introductory physics courses, and as texts for medical schools,
medical physics courses, and biology departments. The three volumes combined present
all the major topics in physics.Originally published in 1974 from the authors's typescript,
these reissues will be edited, corrected, typeset, the art redrawn, and an index added.
These books are being reissued by Springer in the Biological Physics Series in response
