Bridges concepts from condensed matter physics to biological systems
Serves as an educational resource for physicists studying life matter
Abstract
This is a set of lectures that I presented at the Les Houches 2014 Summer School "Topological Aspects in Condensed Matter Physics". The lectures are an introduction to physics of proteins. To physicists, and by a physicist. My lectures at les Houches were also celebration of the anniversary of Schroedinger's 1944 lectures, and for that reason I decided to share my title with his book.
