Annotation -
This course presents the physical point of view and the physical interpretation of chemical knowledges toughed in our university. In introduction, the brief overview of modern physics, the creation and evolution of Earth and life are given. Next, this course presents the application of mathematical knowledge for basic modeling of behavior of life organisms and other systems. It presents the physical interpretation of basic rules of thermodynamic and physical chemistry, biological membranes, diffusion, osmoses, surface tension etc. At the end, it presents interesting topics as biomechanics, biophysics of seeing and hearing, action potential, neurons and neural network, intelligence and artificial intelligence, radiation interaction with organisms, or physical methods of microbial decontamination.
