In July 2009, many experts in the mathematical modeling of
biological sciences gathered in Les Houches for a 4-week summer
school on the mechanics and physics of biological systems. The goal
of the school was to present to students and researchers an
integrated view of new trends and challenges in physical and
mathematical aspects of biomechanics. While the scope for such a
topic is very wide, they focused on problems where solid and fluid
mechanics play a central role. The school covered both the general
mathematical theory of mechanical biology in the context of
continuum mechanics but also the specific modeling of particular
systems in the biology of the cell, plants, microbes, and in
physiology.
These lecture notes are organized (as was the school) around five
different main topics all connected by the common theme of
continuum modeling for biological systems: Bio-fluidics, Bio-gels,
Bio-mechanics, Bio-membranes, and Morphogenesis. These notes are
not meant as a journal review of the topic but rather as a gentle
tutorial introduction to the readers who want to understand the
basic problematic in modeling biological systems from a mechanics
perspective.
