This course introduces the student to the physical basis of biomedical systems and signals. It demonstrates basic concepts of systems and signals theory, like linearity, superposition, frequency and transfer functions and shows their derivation from the biophysical concepts such as mechanics, fluid mechanics, pharmacokinetics and molecular biophysics which underlie the signals in living systems. The course alms at providing the student with the mathematical and physical understanding to quantitatively describe biological systems.

Prerequisite(s): Grade of C or better in BENG 101, MATH 213, and PHYS 160. Prerequisite enforced by registration system.

Corequisite(s): MATH 214, or permission of instructor.
