520 _a"Preface The aim of this book is to show that many aspects of human physiology lend themselves to numerical analysis. Many ways of monitoring physiological function also rely on an understanding of physics and engineering to appreciate fully how they operate. The book arises out of an undergraduate course in medical biophysics and a postgraduate course in biomedical instrumentation the authors were involved in for many years. Although the emphasis is on numerical analysis only, a basic knowledge of mathematics is assumed and every effort is made to supplement mathematical formulae with qualitative explanations and illustrations to encourage an intuitive grasp on the processes involved. Most of the chapters have a range of numerical tutorial problems with, in most cases, worked solutions. These are based on examination questions at the middle and senior undergraduate level. For some of the material, the computational package MATLABʼ offers a convenient way to gain insight into some of the more advanced mathematical analysis of physiological or of clinical monitoring systems. Suitable MATLAB code is provided where this might aid understanding. I acknowledge the help of colleagues in the preparation of this book. Particular chapters have been authored as follows: Anthony Bartel, Per Line, Peter Cadusch, Joseph Ciorciari, David and Sheila Crewther, John Patterson , Mark Schier, Bruce Thompson. In addition, others have been associated with teaching the course over many years. These include: Peter Alabaster, David Liley, Ric Roberts and David Simpson"--
