homework of transport phenomena in biological systems

[Chad · Rating 4 out of 5]

A little light reading before prelim exams, eh? Very well-written textbook, and great resource to help develop biological models based on transport principles. I especially appreciated the discussion of diffusion and Einstein's derivation. It did tend to skip some of the math in example problems, and I wasn't able to reproduce their results.
