How does calculus apply to bioengineering?

Best Answers

In general, calculus is the engineer's go-to tool for understanding how a system functions in terms of parameters. read more

Calculus is important for bioengineering. However, a sufficient understanding of calculus is enough for upper level engineering classes, you do not need to be an expert. For example I am currently taking Fluid Mechanics at Penn State, although calculus is used widely in the course, you only need to understand it, not derive/prove the complex equations on your own. read more

The University of Tennessee biomedical engineering program web page indicates that a key goal of the degree is to give students excellent math skills for effective engineering design abilities. In designing an artificial heart, for instance, the engineer must use advanced math to consider the fit of the organ in the body and its rate of pumping blood. read more

Biomedical engineering is very broad. Some biomedical engineers use high-level math every day, while others use it very little. In an undergraduate program you will most likely be expected to take linear algebra, around 3 semesters of calculus, differential equations, and statistics, as well as calculus-based physics, although the specific courses will depend upon your school. read more
