    Respiratory physiologists can now use complex number analysis for lung function studies. This method simplifies network analysis, aiding in understanding lung compartments and plethysmography measurements.

    Area of Science:

    • Physiology
    • Network Analysis
    • Complex Numbers

    Background:

    • Complex number network analysis is increasingly used in respiratory physiology.
    • Existing derivations are often found in engineering texts and are overly complex for physiological applications.
    • There is a need for an elementary derivation tailored to respiratory problems.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide an elementary derivation of complex number network analysis methods for respiratory physiologists.
    • To simplify the application of complex number analysis to respiratory models.
    • To enhance the understanding and application of this analytical method in the field.

    Main Methods:

    • The study presents an elementary derivation of complex number analysis.
    • It includes a foundational explanation of complex numbers in an appendix.
