Random Walks in Biology: New and Expanded Edition Howard C. Berg is an English-language textbook that offers insight into the application of random walks within biology. This reference work is aimed at students and professionals who want to become familiar with the basic principles of statistical physics in biological processes.
The book clearly describes how random movements of molecules, subcellular particles, and cells contribute to phenomena such as diffusion, sedimentation, electrophoresis, chromatography, and cell motility. The new and expanded edition addresses these topics with practical examples from the life sciences, providing a solid foundation for understanding complex biological systems.
The content connects with topics such as statistical physics and general physics and is valuable for programs in biology, biochemistry, and biophysics. Thanks to the accessible approach, prior knowledge of thermodynamics is not required.
