Product Description
Approaches such as the Transfer Function and the Fourier and the Laplace transforms are important tools for bioengineers that often considered borrowed from electrical engineering. This text allows bioengineering students and bioengineers the ability to foster a sense of ownership of these tools by providing them with a solid foundation in the concepts of linear systems analysis.
Circuits, Signals and Systems for Bioengineers guides readers through the basic engineering concepts that underlie biological systems, medical devices, biocontrol, and biosignal analysis. Material important to their study and traditionally taught in an electrical engineering service course can now be embraced by bioengineers. To further enhance the effectiveness of the book, instructive illustrations and MATLAB routines and examples are provided throughout the book with additional material available on a CD-ROM.
· Translates important electrical engineering tools such as Fourier Transform, Laplace Transform, analog modeling, systems modeling, and other linear systems analysis techniques for bioengineering students.
· Includes MATLAB examples and problems.
· Includes CD-Rom with PowerPoint presentations, extra examples, figures, and support routines.

 great for anyone getting into bioengineering May 23, 2006

I am a biochemistry student who is starting a Bioengineering PhD program in the fall and I have found this book to be a great intro into signals and systems. The example problems in MATLAB have been very helpful and clear. Despite the occasional typo (which is normal for a first edition), it is in general well-written.

I remember doing a simple problem in chapter 1 and having to reference the appendix for a trig formula. But, the problem wouldn't work out nicely... so I looked online and realized that the trig formula had a typo in it (sine and cosine switched)!
That was only a sign of more things to come. You can't read two sentences without coming over a typo. There are grammar errors, mislabled graphs, and typos in equations. Some of the typos are very confusing too.
Here is a list of typos that my professor found in one chapter:
294 Eq. 8.10 Last term should be i(0)L
297 Table 8.1 Symbol for impedance of inductor and capacitor should be ZL(s) and ZC(s).
298 4th line: we see that as a → 0 (not t → ∞)
299Eq. 8.25 e-sτ instead of e-st
312First term of right side of first equation should be k1/s (not k1/2).
315 Example 8.5: "In the mechanical system of Example 8.4..." (not Figure 8.10).
321 Eq. 8.58 First limit should be t → ∞ (not s → ∞).
321 Third equation: integral sign missing in last term.
321 Example 8.8 "Use the final value theorem to find the final value of x(t)..."
321 lim t → ∞ missing from last equation in proof of Eq. 5.58
321 Example 8.8 0.5 should be 0.46 in last equation and the final value is 0.92.
321 Example 8.8 "...letting t → ∞ in the..." (not t → 0).
332 Problem 8 ke = 1000 dynes/cm (add units)
It's like that through the whole book. It's just terrible.
