Summary
  • "Basic Introduction to Bioelectromagnetics makes electromagnetism clear and easy to comprehend for those whose mathematics background extends not much beyond basic algebra.
  • Health physicists, industrial hygienists, and public health workers concerned with electromagnetic field exposures, as well as those concerned with magnetic resonance imaging, optical interaction with tissue, and wireless communication devices will find this primer a welcome relief from traditional electromagnetics texts."--BOOK JACKET.
