  2. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Computational geometry has been an important part of the computer graphics incorporated into modern video games and computer-aided design tools. Several fields of discrete mathematics, particularly theoretical computer science, graph theory, and combinatorics , are important in addressing the challenging bioinformatics problems associated with ...

  3. Newton's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_method

    An illustration of Newton's method. In numerical analysis, the Newton–Raphson method, also known simply as Newton's method, named after Isaac Newton and Joseph Raphson, is a root-finding algorithm which produces successively better approximations to the roots (or zeroes) of a real-valued function.

  4. 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.

    Modal analysis using FEM — solution of eigenvalue problems to find natural vibrations; Céa's lemma — solution in the finite-element space is an almost best approximation in that space of the true solution; Patch test (finite elements) — simple test for the quality of a finite element

    This article describes how to use a computer to calculate an approximate numerical solution of the discretized equation, in a time-dependent situation. In order to be concrete, this article focuses on heat flow, an important example where the convection–diffusion equation applies. However, the same mathematical analysis works equally well to ...

  8. Numerical stability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerical_stability

    Numerical diffusion is a mathematical term which ensures that roundoff and other errors in the calculation get spread out and do not add up to cause the calculation to "blow up". Von Neumann stability analysis is a commonly used procedure for the stability analysis of finite difference schemes as applied to linear partial differential equations ...

  9. Finite element method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_element_method

    The extended finite element method (XFEM) is a numerical technique based on the generalized finite element method (GFEM) and the partition of unity method (PUM). It extends the classical finite element method by enriching the solution space for solutions to differential equations with discontinuous functions.
