  2. Mathematical model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_model

    A mathematical model is an abstract description of a concrete system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in applied mathematics and in the natural sciences (such as physics, biology, earth science, chemistry) and engineering disciplines (such as computer science, electrical ...

  3. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics ). It is the study of numerical methods that attempt to find approximate solutions of problems rather than the exact ones. Numerical analysis finds application in all fields of engineering and ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics

    Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major subdisciplines of number theory, [1] algebra, [2] geometry, [1] and analysis, [3 ...

  6. Mathematical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_analysis

    Numerical analysis is the study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics ). [25]

  7. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    Process of building a computer model, and the interplay between experiment, simulation, and theory. Computer simulation is the process of mathematical modelling, performed on a computer, which is designed to predict the behaviour of, or the outcome of, a real-world or physical system. The reliability of some mathematical models can be ...

  8. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that can be considered "discrete" (in a way analogous to discrete variables, having a bijection with the set of natural numbers) rather than "continuous" (analogously to continuous functions ). Objects studied in discrete mathematics include integers, graphs, and statements in logic.

  9. Numerical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_stability

    Numerical stability. In the mathematical subfield of numerical analysis, numerical stability is a generally desirable property of numerical algorithms. The precise definition of stability depends on the context. One is numerical linear algebra and the other is algorithms for solving ordinary and partial differential equations by discrete ...
