We provide an introduction to the basic principles of physics and chemistry which are directly relevant to the study and understanding of soft condensed (bio-) matter. These include the concepts of force, inertia and friction, work and heat, density, elasticity and viscosity. We review some examples of soft condensed matter systems. We briefly review the application of statistical mechanics to mesoscopic systems, including the Boltzmann distribution with its various applications, Brownian motion, random walk, and the relation between friction and diffusion. We discuss the effect of an external force on chemical equilibrium, and present the Kramers' and Eyrings' approaches to calculating the rate constants. We discuss basic principles from continuum mechanism as applied to small scale systems, including the discussion of bending and buckling forces. We revisit basic polymer physics, including the persistence length, the wormlike chain and the entropic force. With this course basic understanding of motion in biological matter is obtained.
The student will be able to relate the necessary basic principles of physics and chemistry to macroscopic motion in biological matter.
The student will be able to obtain quantitative numbers and values on forces and motion in biological matter.
