  2. Numerical modeling (geology) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_modeling_(geology)

    In geology, numerical modeling is a widely applied technique to tackle complex geological problems by computational simulation of geological scenarios. Numerical modeling uses mathematical models to describe the physical conditions of geological scenarios using numbers and equations. [2] Nevertheless, some of their equations are difficult to ...

  3. Numerical aperture - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_aperture

    The numerical aperture with respect to a point P depends on the half-angle, θ1, of the maximum cone of light that can enter or exit the lens and the ambient index of refraction. As a pencil of light goes through a flat plane of glass, its half-angle changes to θ2. Due to Snell's law, the numerical aperture remains the same: NA = n1 sin θ1 ...

  4. Finite difference method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_difference_method

    In numerical analysis, finite-difference methods ( FDM) are a class of numerical techniques for solving differential equations by approximating derivatives with finite differences. Both the spatial domain and time domain (if applicable) are discretized, or broken into a finite number of intervals, and the values of the solution at the end ...

  5. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    Elements of a mathematical model. Mathematical models can take many forms, including dynamical systems, statistical models, differential equations, or game theoretic models. These and other types of models can overlap, with a given model involving a variety of abstract structures. In general, mathematical models may include logical models.

  6. Computational physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computational_physics

    e. Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical analysis to solve problems in physics. [1] Historically, computational physics was the first application of modern computers in science, and is now a subset of computational science. It is sometimes regarded as a subdiscipline (or offshoot) of theoretical physics, but others ...

  7. Numerical differentiation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_differentiation

    Numerical differentiation. Finite difference estimation of derivative. In numerical analysis, numerical differentiation algorithms estimate the derivative of a mathematical function or function subroutine using values of the function and perhaps other knowledge about the function.

  8. Numerical integration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_integration

    The term numerical quadrature (often abbreviated to quadrature) is more or less a synonym for "numerical integration", especially as applied to one-dimensional integrals. Some authors refer to numerical integration over more than one dimension as cubature ; [1] others take "quadrature" to include higher-dimensional integration.
