Modeling and Simulation in Biomedical Engineering: Applications in Cardiorespiratory Physiology 1st Edition

Perfect, the book arrived even before the date. Its approximately new.

Almost new!

If you are interested in knowing how physiologic simulation design and development works, but have been scared off by other texts, this book is for you. Some modeling books are heavy on the math and quickly lose all but the most mathematically inclined reader. Some modeling books concentrate almost exclusively on the theory because they are written by academicians who lack practical application experience. This book is different! It is written by a pioneer in human patient simulation modeling as one of the developers of the most advanced human patient simulator on the market, that does not have an equal nearly 20 years after its development. Dr. van Meurs teaches the systems engineering approach to model development, emphasizing that simulation for education should be driven by learning requirements, not the other way around. This book is well done because it gives the entire scope and breadth of model development without getting lost in the weeds. Plenty of references are given for those who desire to delve deeper. The book is written in a conversational style with plenty of white space and many illustrations to make the read easy on the eyes and accessible to a broad spectrum of readers. Highly recommend.

I used this book in the context of a class by the author on Modeling in Biomedical Engineering. I can recommed it to anyone who studies similar content.Is a very concise book, but at the same time you won't miss any contentbecause it is fortified with physical and electronic examples.Furthermore, you can take profit of given algoritms and see clearly howphysiological systems work.Lastly, if you are not familiar with this area of engineering, take alook because you will be astonished with their potential in healthcare.

This book is what a good engineering book should be all about: it's concise, very explanatory, easy to understand and most importantly, timeless, as many of the examples (and analog relationships) are based on classical electromechanical models and the code examples are presented as flowcharts.The book is conceptual-model oriented, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for clear and easy to read explanation of biomedical modeling and simulation.

A good book, very technical tough, but no problem for most engineers. It has been a good choice to obtain it.
