Description for The Respiratory System in Equations
Hardback. This book introduces concepts and techniques for mathematical modeling of the respiratory system, using differential equations, resistive networks and other mathematical tools. Offers state-of-the-art modeling techniques, and several detailed exercises. Series: Ms&A. Num Pages: 295 pages, biography. BIC Classification: MJL; PBKJ; PHDF; UYA. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155 x 20. Weight in Grams: 680.
This book proposes an introduction to the mathematical modeling of the respiratory system. A detailed introduction on the physiological aspects makes it accessible to a large audience without any prior knowledge on the lung. Different levels of description are proposed, from the lumped models with a small number of parameters (Ordinary Differential Equations), up to infinite dimensional models based on Partial Differential Equations. Besides these two types of differential equations, two chapters are dedicated to resistive networks, and to the way they can be used to investigate the dependence of the resistance of the lung upon geometrical characteristics. The theoretical ... Read more

Reviews for The Respiratory System in Equations
“This book models respiratory system using ordinary and partial differential equations. … this is a very good book on an extremely difficult topic.” (E. Ahmed, zbMATH 1312.92005, 2015) “It is designed as an introduction to mathematical modeling in the particular context of the respiratory system. … this book is a most valuable reference for students and researchers in the ...
