Autorenporträt

Philipp Scherer received his PhD in experimental and theoretical physics in 1984 with Prof. Wolfgang Kaiser and Prof. Sighart Fischer in Munich. From 1985-1999 he was postdoc at Technische Universität München where he received his habilitation in theoretical physics in 1996. In 2001 and 2003 he spent several months as a visiting scientist at AIST in Tsukuba, Japan. Since 1999 he is lecturer at TUM, from 2006-2008 he was temporary leader of the institute for theoretical biomolecular physics at TUM , since 2008 he is adjunct professor at TUM.

Sighart Fischer received his PhD in theoretical physics in 1965 with Professor F. Hund in Göttingen. From 1966-1969 he was postdoctoral fellow and instructor at Northwestern University and at the University of Chicago. From 1970-1974 he was professor at the Nortwestern University, Evanston, since 1974 Universitätsprofessor für Theoretische Physik at Technische Universität München, and since 2006 he is an emeritus of excellence.

Rezensionen

From the book reviews:

"This is a good text deriving formulae of interest to Biophysicists, students of mathematics, fellows, and theoretical physicists. The dynamic predicate calculus and differential forms inc. Kramer's Rules and Theorems are defined and further developed in sequential linear theory." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, August, 2014)

"Biophysics is a fast growing area at the interface between physics and biology ... . The book by Scherer and Fischer is a first attempt in this direction. Their effort is laudable. ... The book will be a useful text for students and researchers wanting to go through the mathematical derivations in the theories presented. ... this book will attract a group of applied mathematically oriented students and scholars to the exciting field of molecular biophysics." (Hong Qian, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2012 c)

"Intended for graduate students, Theoretical Molecular Biophysics by Philipp Scherer and Sighart Fischer grew out of a biophysics course taught by the authors in the physics department of the Technical University of Munich. ... A striking feature of Theoretical Molecular Biophysics is the large number of equations relative to text ... . chapters close with challenging problems whose solutions are provided at the end of the book. ... The book closes with an interesting review of molecular-motor models." (H. Richard Leuchtag, Physics Today, May, 2011)
