Description
Development of tools necessary in biomedical engineering
including gathering information from online and library
sources, reading and understanding research articles,
understanding experimental design (prospective vs. casecontrolled study, correlation vs. causality etc.), graphing1D
and 2D data, computing basic statistics (mean, variance,
histogram), evaluating hypothesis tests (t-test, ANOVA),
estimating measurement error and propagating errors,
computing linear regression coefficients, writing technical
reports and giving oral presentations. All visualization and
numerical methods will use MATLAB, which will be
introduced from the beginning. All methods will be
discussed in the context of real-world biomedical
problems.
