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:
“It is a monstrous thing to force a child to learn Latin or Greek or mathematics on the ground that they are an indispensable gymnastic for the mental powers. It would be monstrous even if it were true.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
