While the field of lung mechanics has become highly quantitative in its use of mathematical and computational methods, most books on the subject are aimed at physiologists and medical professionals and are therefore lacking in their mathematical treatment. This work by Bates (molecular physiology and biophysics, U. of Vermont College of Medicine) seeks to fill that gap by describing inverse models of lung mechanics, arranged in a hierarchy of complexity, in a manner suitable for a first-year graduate course in bioengineering. Chapters cover the linear single-compartment model and implications for lung resistance and elastance, nonlinear single-compartment models and implications for flow limitation, linear two-compartment models, the general linear model, inverse models of lung impedance, the constant phase model of impedance, and nonlinear dynamic models. Some familiarity with the methods of applied mathematics, including basic calculus and differential equations, is assumed. Annotation ©2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
