title: A BASIC program for teaching membrane potential.
abstract: A qualitative discourse on membrane potential, albeit simple, may be equivocal at crucial points while a purely mathematical treatise on the subject, for all its exactitude, may be incomprehensible to a student of Physiology. A quasi-quantitative approach has therefore been attempted as a compromise between clarity and exactness. A BASIC program is utilised to compute the stereotype calculations and to give instant displays of the results through figures and graphic animations.
