(More customer reviews)For a cross-disciplinary mathematical biologist who is to be an end-user of cardiac models, this book gave a quick introduction to electrocardiograms, electromechanics, and pertinent computing algorithms. It provides worked examples which should be useful in conjunction with a dedicated course book e.g. on partial differential equations. Regrettably, many terms and abbreviations used in the text are absent in the index, detracting from the book's value as a quick reference. The illustrations could be much better, considering the multidimensional, multivariate nature of the system. Instead, they suffer from unlabeled axes, nonuniform color maps in multi-panel figures, or wasteful use of color plates where different linestyles would suffice. All in all, not a feast for the eye but a reasonably concise, fairly well-structured primer on a specific sub-area of a huge research field.

This book describes mathematical models and numerical techniques for simulating the electrical activity in the heart. It gives an introduction to the most important models, followed by a detailed description of numerical techniques. Particular focus is on efficient numerical methods for large scale simulations on both scalar and parallel computers. The results presented in the book will be of particular interest to researchers in bioengineering and computational biology.
