  2. Numerical control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_control

    A CNC machine that operates on wood CNC machines typically use some kind of coolant, typically a water-miscible oil, to keep the tool and parts from getting hot. A CNC metal lathe with the door open. In machining, numerical control, also called computer numerical control (CNC), [1] is the automated control of tools by means of a computer. [2]

    Heun's method — either a second-order method with two stages, or a third-order method with three stages; Bogacki–Shampine method — a third-order method with four stages (FSAL) and an embedded fourth-order method; Cash–Karp method — a fifth-order method with six stages and an embedded fourth-order method

  5. Numerical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_analysis

    The field of numerical analysis predates the invention of modern computers by many centuries. Linear interpolation was already in use more than 2000 years ago. Many great mathematicians of the past were preoccupied by numerical analysis, [5] as is obvious from the names of important algorithms like Newton's method, Lagrange interpolation polynomial, Gaussian elimination, or Euler's method.

  6. Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_methods_for...

    Numerical methods for ordinary differential equations are methods used to find numerical approximations to the solutions of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Their use is also known as " numerical integration ", although this term can also refer to the computation of integrals .

    His research deals with approximation of complex functions by polynomials and rational functions, approximate solutions of differential equations, Padé approximants, geometry of polynomials, special functions, Hardy spaces, conformal mappings (including numerical analysis). and potential theory (minima of energy under boundary value ...

  8. Numerical Recipes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_Recipes

    The Numerical Recipes books cover a range of topics that include both classical numerical analysis (interpolation, integration, linear algebra, differential equations, and so on), signal processing (Fourier methods, filtering), statistical treatment of data, and a few topics in machine learning (hidden Markov model, support vector machines).

  9. Optimal control - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimal_control

    Optimal control is an extension of the calculus of variations, and is a mathematical optimization method for deriving control policies. [6] The method is largely due to the work of Lev Pontryagin and Richard Bellman in the 1950s, after contributions to calculus of variations by Edward J. McShane. [7]
