Abstract

The objective of the present work is to offer an educational strategy targeting biomedical engineering/physics students focusing on the calculation of isotope concentrations and activities in radioactive decay chains, which is capable of demonstrating the behavior of these isotopes over time, by using an iterative process and basic mathematical operations. The computational modeling of the radioactive decay problem by solving ordinary differential equation systems using the Runge-Kutta Fourth Order numerical method is treated. The adopted physical and mathematical models are shown, as well as their computational routine.
