Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences: Mechanics (Volume One) 1st Edition

Capture the essentials of physics with a text written specifically for biology-minded students. Introductory Physics for the Life Sciences: Mechanics (Volume One), 1st Edition by David V. Guerra delivers a focused, accessible introduction to mechanics that connects core physical principles to real-world biological systems.

Begin with clear, engaging explanations that build confidence. Guerra emphasizes intuitive reasoning and quantitative thinking, guiding readers from fundamental concepts—motion, forces, energy, and momentum—to their practical relevance in physiology, biomechanics, and cellular processes. Carefully chosen, biologically relevant examples make abstract ideas tangible for life sciences majors, pre-med students, and anyone bridging biology and physics.

Practice-ready features deepen understanding. Concise derivations, step-by-step worked examples, and targeted problem sets develop problem-solving skills and mathematical fluency without overwhelming non-physics majors. Diagrams and clear visual explanations support varied learning styles and help translate theory to experimental contexts.

Ideal for undergraduate courses and self-study, this volume prepares students for advanced coursework and research by fostering critical thinking and quantitative intuition. Whether you’re preparing for laboratory work, medical school prerequisites, or interdisciplinary study, this book offers a practical, student-centered pathway into the mechanics essential to the life sciences.
