Lecture Summary

・Basic Engineering Subjects
Mathematics and Physics of Biomedical Engineering
WBI-OEN501J
Tetsu Tanaka, Yuji Matsuura
Exercises on the fundamentals of mathematics and physics, focusing on calculus,
differential equations, field calculus, mechanics, etc., will be provided mainly to
students with non-engineering backgrounds. Students will understand the close
relationship between mathematics and physics, and acquire applied skills inmathematics and physics as a basis for medical engineering.
Basic Mechanics for Biomedical Engineering
WBI-MEE502J
Mami Tanaka
In the field of biomedical engineering, for students who do not specialize in mechanicalsystems in the future, the curriculum begins with the fundamentals of mechanics,
covering the basics and essentials of the so-called four mechanics: mechanics, heat,fluids, solids, and dynamics. This lecture serves as the foundation for applications inother fields.
