42-675 Fundamentals of Computational Biomedical Engineering

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This goal of this course is to enable students with little or no programming background to use computational methods to solve basic biomedical engineering problems. Students will use MATLAB to solve linear systems of equations, model fit using least squares techniques (linear and nonlinear), interpolate data, perform numerical integration and differentiation, solve differential equations, and visualize data. Specific examples for each topic will be drawn from different areas of biomedical engineering, such as bioimaging and signal processing, biomechanics, biomaterials, and cellular and biomolecular technology.
