System Physiology

What Will Learn?

  • Course Aims
    By the end of the course the students will be able to: • Become familiarized with some of the work that lies on the border between mathematics and physiology. • Use basic engineering tools including mathematics and physics efficiently to give insight into physiological questions. • Comprehend how physiological questions can lead to new mathematical problems. • Value the concept that mathematical modeling of normal physiological function is just an invaluable tool for the design of man-made system intended to assist or support life or to compensate for dysfunction.
