Inhaltsangabe

THIS INTRODUCTORY BOOK FOR UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS POSES A QUESTION: WHAT IS BIOENGINEERING ALL ABOUT? AFTER OFFERING A REFERENCE FRAME AND DEFINING THE OBJECTIVES (CHAPTER 1), "PHYSIOLOGY" (CHAPTER 2) IS PRESENTED AS A SOURCE MATERIAL FOLLOWED BY "SIGNALS" (CHAPTER 3) AND "SIGNAL PICK UP" (CHAPTER 4). CHAPTER 5 DEALS WITH THE BIOLOGICAL AMPLIFIER. READING THE SIGNAL AND THE NEED FOR MATHEMATICAL MODELS ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER, RESPECTIVELY, OF CHAPTERS 6 AND 7; THEY ONLY PROVIDE GUIDANCE. THE LAST CHAPTER TRIES TO LOOK AHEAD. SOMETIMES, THE SUBJECT IS TREATED IN RELATIVE DEPTH; AT TIMES, THE VISIT IS MORE SUPERFICIAL. FORMATION RATHER THAN INFORMATION IS FAVORED. HISTORICAL SHOTS SUPPLY BACKGROUND MATERIAL AND SPICY INSIGHTS. STYLE IS LIGHT, SPRINKLED WITH A LITTLE HUMOR. THERE ARE EXERCISES WHICH ALLOW STUDENTS TO LEARN INDEPENDENTLY.

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"The writing style is clear, light, well-organized, factual, and non-judgmental, in the spirit of a true textbook ... Overall, this is a timely contribution, besides being a terrific primer to the undergraduate bioengineering/biomedical engineering student community and the best news is that it is very sensibly priced." IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Magazine
