Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology has a New Website

A New Website

This summer I received an email from University Technology Services saying that faculty websites, like the one I maintain about Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology, would no longer be supported at Oakland University. In other words, IPMB needed a new online home. So today I announce our new website: https://sites.google.com/view/hobbieroth. If you try to access the old website listed in IPMB, www.oakland.edu/~roth/hobbie, it’ll link you to the new site, but I don’t know how long that will last.

What can you find at our new website? Lots of stuff, including

• Errata. The errata is a list of errors in IPMB. 
• Blog. Information about this book blog, including the mapping of blog posts to sections in IPMB, which is useful if you want additional information about a particular topic. 
• Links. Links to sites such as the IPMB Facebook group and the publisher webpage. 
• Trivial Pursuit IPMB. Game cards for the board game that’s all the rage: Trivial Pursuit IPMB. 
• MacDose. Links to MacDose, the computer program Russ Hobbie wrote to teach the interaction of radiation with matter.

If you’re looking for my website, it’s changed too, to https://sites.google.com/view/bradroth.

Class Videos

This semester I’m teaching PHY 3250, Biological Physics. I am recording each class, and I’ll upload the videos to YouTube. Anyone can watch the lectures for free, as if it were an online class. I still use the blackboard, and sometimes it’s difficult to read in the video. I hope you can follow most of the lectures.

Useful for Instructors

If you scroll down to the box on the right of hobbieroth.blogspot.com you will find a list of labels. Click the one called “Useful for Instructors” and you can find several posts that are….er….useful for instructors. If you’re teaching from IPMB, you might find these posts particularly helpful.

Google Scholar

Below is a screenshot of IPMB’s Google Scholar citation statistics. We’ve averaged 26 citations a year over the last ten years, or one every two weeks. We thank all of you who’ve referenced IPMB. We’re delighted you found it important enough to cite.
