21Willmore energy — In geometry, the Willmore energy is a quantitative measure of how much a given surface deviates from a round sphere. Mathematically, the Willmore energy of a smooth closed surface embedded in three dimensional Euclidean space is defined to be the …
22Algorithme du gradient — L algorithme du gradient désigne un algorithme d optimisation différentiable. Il est par conséquent destiné à minimiser une fonction réelle différentiable définie sur un espace euclidien (par exemple, , l espace des n uplets de nombres réels,… …
23Stirling's approximation — In mathematics, Stirling s approximation (or Stirling s formula) is an approximation for large factorials. It is named in honour of James Stirling.The formula is written as:n! approx sqrt{2pi n}, left(frac{n}{e} ight)^{n}.Roughly, this means that …
24List of complex analysis topics — Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematics that investigates functions of complex numbers. It is useful in many branches of mathematics, including number theory and applied …

27Molecular mechanics — A force field is used to minimize the bond stretching energy of this ethane molecule. Molecular mechanics uses Newtonian mechanics to model molecular systems. The potential energy of all systems in molecular mechanics is calculated using force… …
28Multidisciplinary design optimization — Multi disciplinary design optimization (MDO) is a field of engineering that uses optimization methods to solve design problems incorporating a number of disciplines. As defined by Prof. Carlo Poloni, MDO is the art of finding the best compromise …
29Asymptotic analysis — This article is about the comparison of functions as inputs approach infinite. For asymptotes in geometry, see asymptotic curve. In mathematical analysis, asymptotic analysis is a method of describing limiting behavior. The methodology has… …
30WKB approximation — In physics, the WKB (Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin) approximation, also known as WKBJ (Wentzel–Kramers–Brillouin–Jeffreys) approximation, is the most familiar example of a semiclassical calculation in quantum mechanics in which the wavefunction is… …
