Biochemistry in the biological sciences undergraduate curriculum.
Atkins argues that the advent of computers has opened the way to a taught course discussing systems removed from equilibrium. Even turbulent and chaotic processes that are not amenable to analytical argument might be simulated from numerical treatments. If such elements were present in a physical chemistry course then the problems of energy transfer, rates of processes: photosynthesis provide t...
متن کاملThe Changing Classroom: The Role of the Biological Sciences Curriculum Study
