Being a young discipline, Biomedical Engineering (BME) offers too few good textbooks for undergraduates. Moreover, in some of the available undergraduate BME textbooks, the levels of mathematics and engineering science were compromised in favor of a more qualitative approach. I was therefore happy to discover that in the recent title by Ritter et al., there is not only in-breadth overview on current BME fields, but also, in-depth analysis of specific selected topics that are supported by appropriate mathematical models, equations, quantitative data charts and tables. This indicates, however, that this book is intended for BME undergraduates at the sophomore, junior or senior years (but not for freshmen). Specifically, to work with this textbook, a student should have already learned calcu-lus, differential and integral equations, and basic engineering courses such as statics, dynamics, solid and fluid mechanics and analog electrical circuits. It should be acknowledged that the authors provide overviews on some of these topics where relevant.
