Biomedical Modeling and Simulation on a PC

This text and the accompanying software are intended for the use of teachers in physiology and biomedical engineering. It offers them the opportunity to enrich their courses with demonstrations and exercises for students using a personal computer. The material is based on validated models throughout. An educational context is given, stimulating the teacher to introduce investigative learning. The aim of instruction, the possibilities and limitations of the model and an outlook for the future are given for each subject. The models are included either as files to be used with the simulation language BIOPSI or as stand-alone programs. An extensive menu-system is supplied, featuring context-sensitive "help" for each program; facilities for automatic curve-presentation; student databases with extensive reporting facilities; and WYSIWYG text editor for special as well as for general use.
