    Mathematical Devotionals serves as a guide to connect Christianity with mathematics through a year's worth of inspirational prompts and meditations. Each devotional is self-contained, including scripture verses and an image. The devotionals fall into four categories: 
    · Mathematical connections to Christianity 
    · Semi-biographical devotionals of Christian mathematicians 
    · Devotionals based on quotes either by a mathematician or about mathematics 
    · A few devotionals using logical reasoning as a form of Christian apologetics 
    The devotionals use mathematics, statistics, computer science, and even occasionally stray into the other science areas to provide a variety of engaging connections to Christianity. The book is intended to show how mathematics and other scientific fields should be considered complementary to Christianity rather than adversarial. 
    About the Author:

    Medical imaging is a critical component of modern healthcare, providing a non-invasive means to visualize the internal structures of the body. From early radiographs (X-rays) to cutting-edge technologies like Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), medical imaging has transformed the way doctors diagnose, treat, and monitor diseases. It allows clinicians to detect conditions that may otherwise remain hidden, aiding in early diagnosis and improving treatment outcomes.  
    The use of medical imaging dates back over a century, with Wilhelm Röntgen’s discovery of X-rays in 1895 being one of the most groundbreaking advancements in medical science. This discovery laid the foundation for a range of diagnostic techniques that have become indispensable in healthcare. Over the years, the field has evolved dramatically with the introduction of diverse imaging technologies, each offering unique advantages in specific clinical contexts. 
    Today, medical imaging includes a variety of techniques, such as X-ray, ultrasound, CT (Computed Tomography), MRI, PET, and more recently, advanced methods like 3D imaging and functional imaging. Each of these modalities provides detailed images of the body’s internal structures and functions, enabling physicians to identify and assess diseases ranging from fractures and infections to cancer and neurological disorders. For instance, X-ray is often used for skeletal imaging, while MRI is considered the gold standard for soft tissue imaging, especially in the brain and spinal cord.
