The BioMedical Admissions Tests is a subject-specific admissions test for medicine, veterinary science, and related courses. "How to Master the BMAT" includes six sections of revision materials for the math, physics, chemistry, and biology components of the BMAT, with additional notes for problem solving and the writing task.
This is the first BMAT theory and practice book on the market, providing not only practice questions but breaking down the BMAT exam step-by-step. The authors, both leading specialists in BMAT training, focus on each section in turn, using many sample questions to carefully illustrate the theory rather than simply testing rote learning. A concluding mock exam allows candidates to consolidate learning through self-assessment, with model answers to refer to at the end.
How to Master the BMAT will help you to maximize your UK BMAT test score in the shortest time possible with the least possible effort. With over 400 practice questions including six mock tests, it focuses on core knowledge in six key areas: -aptitude and skills -maths -physics -chemistry -biology -writing tasks At the end of each section, a set of review questions enable you to identify and improve your weak areas before you sit the test, then once you are ready you can complete the practice papers that reflect the BMAT test. Candidates are supported throughout the book, and, where possible, every question comes complete with its revision topics indicated in brackets, useful hints and expanded answers.

Contains over one thousand practice questions - worked examples, quick tests, 2 full BMAT-style sample test papers, and 2 full UKCAT-style sample test papers. With the use of admissions tests becoming an increasingly more common part of the selection process for entrance to medical school, BMAT and UKCAT Uncovered is a comprehensive yet accessible guide to the two main tests used by UK medical schools. Written by recent Cambridge graduates, the authors' experience lies in taking these exams themselves and teaching students how to pass them. They combine key strategies for tackling the specific skills tested by the BioMedical Admissions Test and the UK Clinical Aptitude Test, along with practice questions and tests, with worked answers, in the style of the BMAT and UKCAT exams. The simple, informal teaching style, highlighting key practice areas, with the minimal use of jargon, means BMAT and UKCAT Uncovered is an essential tool for all medical school applicants.
Implement state-of-the-art techniques to visualize solutions to challenging problems in scientific computing, with the use of the SciPy stack About This Book Master the theory and algorithms behind numerical recipes and how they can be applied to real-world problems Learn to combine the most appropriate built-in functions from the SciPy stack by understanding the connection between the sources of your problem, volume of data, or computer architecture A comprehensive coverage of all the mathematical techniques needed to solve the presented topics, with a discussion of the relevant algorithms built in the SciPy stack Who This Book Is For If you are a mathematician, engineer, or computer scientist with a proficiency in Python and familiarity with IPython, this is the book for you. Some basic knowledge of numerical methods in scientific computing would be helpful. What You Will Learn Master relevant algorithms used in symbolic or numerical mathematics to address approximation, interpolation, differentiation, integration, root-finding, and optimization of scalar or multi-variate functions Develop different algorithms and strategies to efficiently store and manipulate large matrices of data, in particular to solve systems of linear equations, or compute their eigenvalues/eigenvectors Understand how to model physical problems with systems of differential equations and distinguish the factors that dictate the strategies to solve them Perform statistical analysis, hypothesis test design and resolution, or data mining at a higher level, and apply them to real-life problems in the field of data analysis Gain insights on the power of distances, Delaunay triangulations and Voronoi diagrams for Computational Geometry, and apply them to various engineering problems Familiarize yourself with different techniques in signal/image processing, including filtering audio, images, or video to extract information, features, or remove components In Detail The SciPy stack is a collection of open source libraries of the powerful scripting language Python, together with its interactive shells. This environment offers a cutting-edge platform for numerical computation, programming, visualization and publishing, and is used by some of the world's leading mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. It works on any operating system that supports Python and is very easy to install, and completely free of charge! It can effectively transform into a data-processing and system-prototyping environment, directly rivalling MATLAB and Octave. This book goes beyond a mere description of the different built-in functions coded in the libraries from the SciPy stack. It presents you with a solid mathematical and computational background to help you identify the right tools for each problem in scientific computing and visualization. You will gain an insight into the best practices with numerical methods depending on the amount or type of data, properties of the mathematical tools employed, or computer architecture, among other factors. The book kicks off with a concise exploration of the basics of numerical linear algebra and graph theory for the treatment of problems that handle large data sets or matrices. In the subsequent chapters, you will delve into the depths of algorithms in symbolic algebra and numerical analysis to address modeling/simulation of various real-world problems with functions (through interpolation, approximation, or creation of systems of differential equations), and extract their representing features (zeros, extrema, integration or differentiation). Lastly, you will move on to advanced concepts of data analysis, image/signal processing, and computational geometry. Style and approach Packed with real-world examples, this book explores the mathematical techniques needed to solve the presented topics, and focuses on the algorithms built in the SciPy stack.
This fully updated interactive guide, which contains detailed guidance, practice questions and a complete mock test, will help applicants, parents and teachers alike prepare for and successfully complete the BMAT.
