Chapter 1, Problem 25: Poisson’s ratioMany of these twelve problems are more difficult than average for our book, but undergraduate physics majors should be able to handle them all. Often we introduce new concepts in the problems. For instance, Poisson’s ratio is never discussed in the text, but other biomechanics topics are, and Problem 25 of Chapter 1 introduces Poisson’s ratio by relating it to concepts we introduced previously.
Chapter 4, Problem 22: MRI Diffusion Tensor Imaging
Chapter 4, Problem 23: The effect of buffers on the intracellular diffusion of calcium
Chapter 5, Problem 6: Osmotic pressure in articular cartilage
Chapter 5, Problem 17: Countercurrent heat exchangers
Chapter 7, Problem 30: Clark and Plonsey’s calculation of the intracellular and extracellular potential of a nerve axon
Chapter 8, Problem 17: The magnetic field produced by a planar action potential wave front in anisotropic cardiac tissue
Chapter 9, Problem 9: An analytical solution to the nonlinear Poisson-Boltzmann equation
Chapter 10, Problem 37: Ventricular fibrillation of the heart, chaos, and action potential restitution
Chapter 10, Problem 39: A cellular automata model for cardiac arrhythmias
Chapter 12, Problem 23: Analytical example of how to calculate an image from its projection using the method of reconstruction by Fourier transform
Chapter 18, Problem 18: The “magic angle” in MRI
If you want to get the most out of the 4th edition of Intermediate Physics for Medicine and Biology, work the problems. Otherwise, you may miss some new and fascinating applications of physics to the biomedical sciences.
