Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

An introduction to, and overview of, biomedical engineering, this text focuses on most of the major fields of activity in which biomedical engineers are engaged. Chapters are written to provide historical perspectives of the major developments in specific domains, as well as the fundamental principles that underlie biomedical engineering design, analysis and modelling procedures in those domains. MATLAB and SIMULINK software is used throughout the book to model and simulate dynamic systems, and numerous examples and drill problems are used to enforce concepts.

Includes bibliographical references and index.
