Abstract

The use of biological examples in teaching applications of the analog computer is discussed. In an introductory general physics laboratory class which included biology majors, the addition of some biologically relevant analog computer problems was well received. The response indicates that such problems can be particularly useful in physics classes which include life-science students or which explore biophysics topics. Several suitable examples from mathematical ecology, enzyme kinetics, and tracer dynamics are described.
