This substantially revised text represents a broader based biological engineering title. It includes medicine and other applications that are desired in curricula supported by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers, as well as many bioengineering departments in both U.S. and worldwide departments. This new edition will focus on a significant number of biological applications, problem-solving techniques, and solved examples. Specifically there will be 160+ interesting application problems over an entended biological base (biomedical, bioenvironmental, etc.) that were originally developed by the author throughout his 13 years of teaching this course at Cornell.

Ashim K. Datta is a full Professor in the Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University. His basic research is in the physics-based understanding and optimization of food and biological process, safety, and quality; and simulationbased enhancement of teaching and learning. He is the recepient of numerous teaching awards at Cornell University and in the State of New York. Since 2004, Professor Datta has taught the course upon which this text is based and used.
