Acta Numerica 2005; v.14.0521858070 Acta numerica 2005; v.14. Cambridge U. Pr. 2005 573 pages $95.00 Hardcover QA402 The annual series contains invited survey papers by researchers in numerical mathematics and scientific computing. Seven papers in this year's edition cover the numerical solution of saddle point In the most general terms, a saddle point for a smooth function (curve, surface or hypersurface) is a point such that the curve/surface/etc. in the neighborhood of this point lies on different sides of the tangent at this point. In certain contexts the definition may vary. problems, the computation of geometric partial differential equations and mean curvature flow In the field of differential geometry in mathematics, mean curvature flow is an example of a geometric flow of hypersurfaces in a Riemannian manifold (for example, smooth surfaces in 3-dimensional Euclidean space). , random matrix theory, numerical methods for large-scale nonlinear optimization, computational chemistry Computational chemistry is a branch of chemistry that uses computers to assist in solving chemical problems. It uses the results of theoretical chemistry, incorporated into efficient computer programs, to calculate the structures and properties of molecules and solids. from the perspective of numerical analysis numerical analysis Branch of applied mathematics that studies methods for solving complicated equations using arithmetic operations, often so complex that they require a computer, to approximate the processes of analysis (i.e., calculus). , steady-state convection-diffusion problems, and total variation and level set methods in image science. They are not indexed. ([c] 2005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
