Learning outcomes
After completing the course students can describe in details the modelling approaches, which are applied to describe and reconstruct physical properties and physiology of the cardiovascular and nervous system. They are able to classify modelling approaches and select appropriate models as research and development tools. Students can use numerical methods for solving of the underlying systems of equations.
