How much math is used in Biomedical Engineering?

Hi Kat,

Biomedical Engineering, like all engineering disciplines, will require a solid foundation in math.  While many areas of biomedical engineering focus more on the life sciences (e.g. tissue engineering), a lot of other exciting areas in bioengineering such as biomechanics or bioinstrumentation will involve and require mathematical skills.

However, just because you are having a difficult time in math class right now doesn't mean you should give up your goals of becoming a biomedical engineer!  There are plenty of resources online that you can take advantage of to help you understand and get through your classes!  While math and physics classes were challenging for me in high school and in college, I am so glad I put in the time to push through them.  It was well worth the effort.  What helped in high school/college was to find other textbooks/reading materials to supplement the textbook used in class.  As well, my friends and I formed study groups to help work through difficult material (and also to have fun along the way)!

I hope this was helpful.

Cheers,
Angela
