1Numerical Mathematics Consortium — logo The Numerical Mathematics Consortium (NMC) is a group of vendors and technical professionals working to standardize a set of core numerical mathematics. The Numerical Mathematics Consortium is committed to numerical algorithm development… …
2mathematics — /math euh mat iks/, n. 1. (used with a sing. v.) the systematic treatment of magnitude, relationships between figures and forms, and relations between quantities expressed symbolically. 2. (used with a sing. or pl. v.) mathematical procedures,… …
3Numerical continuation — is a method of computing approximate solutions of a system of parameterized nonlinear equations, The parameter λ is usually a real scalar, and the solution an n vector. For a fixed parameter value λ,, maps Euclidean n space into itself. Often the …
4Numerical linear algebra — is the study of algorithms for performing linear algebra computations, most notably matrix operations, on computers. It is often a fundamental part of engineering and computational science problems, such as image and signal processing,… …
5Numerical diffusion — is a difficulty with computer simulations of continua (such as fluids) wherein the simulated medium exhibits a higher diffusivity than the true medium. This phenomenon can be particularly egregious when the system should not be diffusive at all,… …
6Numerical resistivity — is a problem in computer simulations of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD). It is a form of numerical diffusion. In near ideal MHD systems, the magnetic field can diffuse only very slowly through the plasma or fluid of the system; it is rate… …
7Numerical relativity — is one of the branches of general relativity that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems. To this end, supercomputers are often employed to study black holes, gravitational waves, neutron stars and many other… …
8Numerical Recipes — is the generic title of a series of books on algorithms and numerical analysis by William H. Press, Saul Teukolsky, William Vetterling and Brian Flannery. In various editions, the books have been in print since 1986. The most recent edition was… …
