This course introduces students to the physiology of human organ systems, with an emphasis on quantitative problem solving, engineering-style modeling, and applications to clinical medicine.
MATH 54 is recommended. Spring only.
This 15-week course will introduce students to the principles of medical physiology, with a strong emphasis on quantitative problem solving, the physiological basis of human disease, and applications to biomedical devices and prostheses.
Students will be exposed to the basic physiological systems which govern the function of each organ system, examples of diseases in which these systems go awry, and medical devices which have been developed to correct the deficits.
3 hours of lecture and 1 hour of discussion per week.
