We describe a new interdisciplinary course which explores the relations between physics and biology in terms of their conceptual structures and mathematical frameworks. The course is designed for senior undergraduate physics students who have little or no background in the life sciences. In this paper we highlight the course content, its system of cross‐disciplinary literature resources, and several innovative aspects of the method used for evaluating students.
