Calculus 2 Integration Paper
Integration in the Medical Field
Calculus is a very versatile and valuable tool. It is a form of mathematics, which was developed from algebra and geometry. It is made up of two interconnected topics, differential calculus and integral calculus. Last week, my teacher was talking about the benefits of using Integration in daily life. She encouraged us to think about what we will do in our profession and to find examples of the application of calculus concepts. It made me wonder if there is really anything that is being used in society with integration techniques.
I am a bio-chemistry major at Oakwood University. The profession that I want to pursue is to become is a medical doctor. A physician is a professional who practices medicine, which is concerned with promoting, maintaining or restoring human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, injury, and other physical and mental impairments. They may focus their practice on certain disease categories, types of patients, and assume responsibility for the provision of continuing and comprehensive medical care to individuals, families, and communities. The type of Doctor I want to be is to do a MD/Ph.D in endocrinology.
Whoever thinks that integration is only used in math is ignorant of their surroundings. The truth is that the different aspects of calculus are used in the real world every day. The Integral is used to show area under a curve. The indefinite integral is the anti-derivative of a function. In science and medicine there is a machine called the NMR and MRI. NMR stands for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance. In the field of medicine an NMR is better known as an MRI. The concept of using both machines it practically the same.
Chemists use a machine called an NMR machine or a Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Machine. By looking at the graphs obtained from an NMR machine it can be used to identify the structure of unknown compounds. Integration is used when looking at the graph of a Hydrogen
