Matrix Methods for Electrical Systems
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
This module introduces matrix algebra as a tool for solving multivariable problems. Setting up a model for a nerve cell, we use matrices to simply express the electrical properties of the nerve cell, and utilize matrix algebra to solve for the potential differences across nodes and axial and membrane current. By working several examples, we also introduce and reinforce a general problem modeling methodology, and demonstrate the usefulness of matrix algebra for realizing a solution to these problems.
