Biomedical Engineering Theory And Practice/Chapters Description

This page should be some sort of a detailed outline for the rest of the book. It should also focus on the best approach for reading this book. It should also be emphasized that the reading order is totally arbitrary and that each chapter is self-contained. Chapters are linking between each other especially to point out necessary tools.

Chapter # 1 Introduction

1.1 What is biomedical engineering?
1.2 A very brief history biomedical engineering.
1.3 The state of the art.: a broad look at things.
1.4 Opportunities for growth.

Chapter # 2 Biomedical Instrumentation:

2.1 The role of instrumentation in biomedical engineering.
2.2 a very swift review of basic electronics:
