Objectives

After completing the course you have got a detailed insights in modelling approaches, which are applied to describe and reconstruct physical properties and physiology of the cardiovascular and nervous system. You are enabled to classify modelling approaches and select appropriate models as research and development tools. Numerical methods for solving of the underlying systems of equations will be addressed with regard to their efficient implementation.
