Applied Mathematics in Biomedical Sciences and Engineering

초록

Biomedical sciences and engineering are representative multidisciplinary research areas that have fulfilled the critical needs of modern medicine and biology. There is no doubt that applied mathematics has played a key role in developing new technologies in these emerging disciplines. For example, modern medical imaging systems such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) could not be materialized without the aid of advanced optimization theories and reconstruction algorithms. Progresses in numerical analysis and biostatistics have also contributed to the rapid advancement of physiological signal processing and computer-aided diagnosis of intractable diseases. Indeed, biomedical sciences and engineering have already become one of the most promising application areas of applied mathematics.
