Biokinesiology (BKN)
- http://pt.usc.edu/
- D class assignments for graduate students available in CHP155; phone (323) 442-2670.
Introduces the fundamentals of mathematical, Newtonian, and robotic analysis applicable to multi-muscle biomechanical systems. Combines physiology with numerical simulations to understand and predict motor function. Recommended preparation: Matlab programming, fundamentals of mechanics, linear algebra.
- Crosslist: This course is offered by the BME department but may qualify for major credit in BKN. To register, enroll in BME 504.
