为了响应生命科学专业和医学预科生的本科科学课程改革的呼声越来越高（Bio 2010，未来医生的科学基础，愿景与变革），一个跨学科的团队创建了NEXUS/物理学：重新利用生命科学的入门物理课程。该课程与生命科学专业学生的生物学和化学入门课程互动强烈，目的是帮助学生建立一般的，多学科的科学能力。NEXUS/物理学强调跨学科的例子，内容与传统的入门物理学明显不同，以促进这一点：它将能量的讨论扩展到包括原子间势和化学反应，热力学的讨论包括焓和吉布斯自由能，并包括随机与相干运动的严肃讨论，包括扩散。教学材料的开发与认真的教育研究相协调。这两个新的内容和研究结果中描述了一系列的文件，本文作为一个概述和背景。
In response to increasing calls for the reform of the undergraduate science curriculum for life science majors and pre-medical students (Bio2010, Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians, Vision & Change), an interdisciplinary team has created NEXUS/Physics: a repurposing of an introductory physics curriculum for the life sciences. The curriculum interacts strongly and supportively with introductory biology and chemistry courses taken by life-science students, with the goal of helping students build general, multi-discipline scientific competencies. NEXUS/Physics stresses interdisciplinary examples and the content differs markedly from traditional introductory physics to facilitate this: it extends the discussion of energy to include interatomic potentials and chemical reactions, the discussion of thermodynamics to include enthalpy and Gibbs free energy and includes a serious discussion of random vs coherent motion including diffusion. The development of instructional materials is coordinated with careful education research. Both the new content and the results of the research are described in a series of papers for which this paper serves as an overview and context.
