This semester I’m co-teaching systems analysis and physiology (ES145/215) with Garrett Stanley, and in the spring I'm co-teaching decision theory (ES201) with Roger Brockett.

Engineering Sciences 145/215

Introduction to Systems Analysis with Physiological Applications
Half course (Fall term)
Tu & Th, 1-2:30pm
EXAM GROUP: 15, 16

A survey of systems theory with applications from bioengineering and physiology. Analysis: modeling real systems as discrete elements; nonlinear systems, the complementary nature of time and frequency methods; feedback; stability; biological oscillations. Applications: muscle dynamics and nerve function, cardiovascular regulation. Laboratory: neural modeling; feedback control systems; properties of muscles; cardiovascular function.

Prerequisites: Applied Mathematics 21b or Mathematics 21b or equivalent.
