Multiscale mathematics is a branch of applied and computational mathematics concerned with the accurate and efficient solution of mathematical expressions representing the physical laws of nature across several levels of physical organization and/or spatial/temporal scales.
The primary areas of mathematical and algorithmic development include:
- Continuum modeling
- Discrete modeling
- Analytical modeling
- Statistical modeling
- Network-based modeling
Famous quotes containing the word mathematics:
“Why does man freeze to death trying to reach the North Pole? Why does man drive himself to suffer the steam and heat of the Amazon? Why does he stagger his mind with the mathematics of the sky? Once the question mark has arisen in the human brain the answer must be found, if it takes a hundred years. A thousand years.”
—Walter Reisch (1903–1963)
