This lecture discusses the challenges of applying Newton's laws at the cellular scale, emphasizing the complexity of cellular systems compared to billiard balls. It covers the concept of degrees of freedom, the importance of relevant coordinates in cell biology, and the significance of scales in a cell. The lecture also explores the units and dimensions relevant to cell biology, significant ratios, organelle descriptions, and the process of building mathematical models in computational cell biology.
