Medical Physics for Veterinary and Related Studies: An Introductory Textbook on Mathematical and Physical Principles

This helpful textbook enlightens veterinary students and practicing experts to understand and make use of the basic knowledge and methods in the fields of physical and mathematical veterinary medicine. It prepares undergraduates and learners for their clinical courses. Moreover, to fully cover the topics in focus and maintain integrity of significant subjects, non-veterinary sections with broader relevance are additionally included.The author provides sound definitions and formulas for general mathematics, including proportions, cartesian space (curves and lines), trigonometry, derivation/integration and more. Throughout the book, readers will further benefit from medical and biological examples to connect to real-life applications. Relevant imaging techniques and thermoregulation are covered. Complementary comments linked to the history of science complete the work. Finally, targeted questions help you test the knowledge you have learned for the different topics.In summary, this rich resource contributes to a well-rounded scientific education for current and future veterinarians and students of related disciplines in (bio)medicine, biology and the life sciences.
