Hobbie

My interest is in biological and medical physics. I retired in 1998. I can still be reached by e-mail. However, I do not have any students.

The fourth edition of INTERMEDIATE PHYSICS FOR MEDICINE AND BIOLOGY, with co-author Brad Roth, was published by Springer in spring, 2007. ISBN 978-0-387-30942-2. A new chapter discusses hearing and ultrasound. Information, including the Table of Contents, Solutions Manual, and errata, can be found at http://www.oakland.edu/~roth/hobbie.htm

A password is required to read the solutions manual. Instructors can contact either author for the password. An interview with me about the history of the book is available in the American Physical Society Division of Biological Physics Newsletter, http://units.aps.org/units/dbp/newsletter/upload/dec06.pdf
