DESCRIPTION:
Poor Publishing Quality, but good otherwise. The contents of the book are good, but the copy I got has several pages printed so lightly that they're unreadable (occurring randomly throughout the book) and the binding fell apart within a couple months of receiving it.. In satisfied Product Amazon Customer The binding was taped together. It is too loose and the book is going to fall apart.. "Best Quantitative Physiology Text" according to Tuneable. I had Dr. Feher as a professor years ago when I took his course in Quant Phys when I was a BME major at VCU. He was and still is one of the best professors I have ever had. His approach to physiology is instantly accessible to the student but he does not shy away from difficult but important concepts. Importantly for the engineer or biophysicist, his book covers mathemati
Feher developed a course in Introductory Quantitative Physiology at VCU and has been course coordinator for more than a decade. Dr. Dr. He received his Ph.D. . from Cornell University, and has research interests in the quantitative understanding of the mechanisms of calcium uptake and release by the car
The text makes extensive use of mathematics at the level of calculus and elementary differential equations. This text is written for students with no knowledge of physiology but with a solid background in calculus with elementary differential equations. Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction presents a course in quantitative physiology developed for undergraduate students of Biomedical Engineering at Virginia Commonwealth University. The text covers all the elements of physiology in nine units: (1) physical and chemical foundations; (2) cell physiology; (3) excitable tissue physiology; (4) neurophysiology;
It is an extremely easily read book that covers all aspects of physiology, from the mathematical concepts that underlie how human physiology functions to medically-related diseases and conditions, as well as current medical treatments. I plan to utilize this book for upper level undergraduate biomedical engineering students in sensory and quantitative physiology, as well as for advanced graduate students in a pharmacological and physiological PhD program in medical school, with appropriate emphasis from the book for each student group according to their needs and abilities." - Amy B. " in terms of what is out there this book provides the best mix I have seen thus far of balancing the two aspects of "quantitative" "physiology" - Professor Sean Collins at University of Massachusetts - Lowell "It would be quite useful for engineers who want to ply their trade in the physiological sciences I have been looking for
