BIOE 504
Analytical Methods in Bioeng

Credit:  4 hours.


Mathematical topics as they relate to modeling of physiological and bio-molecular processes and the instrumentation used to measure those processes. Reviews matrix methods, probability, linear systems, and integral transforms. Introduces singular value decomposition, Bayesian decision making, and linear system solutions to ordinary differential equations. Topics are applied to biosensor design and evaluation, tracer kinetic modeling, and filtering/curving fitting approaches to forward modeling problems. Prerequisite: MATH 285.
