  2. Engineering mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineering_mathematics

    Engineering mathematics. Mathematical engineering (or engineering mathematics) is a branch of applied mathematics, concerning mathematical methods and techniques that are typically used in engineering and industry. Along with fields like engineering physics and engineering geology, both of which may belong in the wider category engineering ...

  3. Mathematical optimization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_optimization

    Mathematical optimization (alternatively spelled optimisation) or mathematical programming is the selection of a best element, with regard to some criteria, from some set of available alternatives. [1][2] It is generally divided into two subfields: discrete optimization and continuous optimization.

  4. Inverse problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse_problem

    The simplest example of unisolvent functions is polynomials constructed, using the unisolvence theorem, so as to be unisolvent. Concretely, this is done by inverting the Vandermonde matrix. But this a very specific situation. In general, the solution of an inverse problem requires sophisticated optimization algorithms.

  5. Linear algebra - Wikipedia

    The blue line is the common solution to two of these equations. Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning linear equations such as: linear maps such as: and their representations in vector spaces and through matrices. [1][2][3] Linear algebra is central to almost all areas of mathematics. For instance, linear algebra is fundamental ...

  6. Mathematical analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_analysis

    Differential equations are an important area of mathematical analysis with many applications in science and engineering. Analysis is the branch of mathematics dealing with continuous functions, limits, and related theories, such as differentiation, integration, measure, infinite sequences, series, and analytic functions. [1] [2]

  7. Optimization problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optimization_problem

    Optimization problem. In mathematics, engineering, computer science and economics, an optimization problem is the problem of finding the best solution from all feasible solutions. Optimization problems can be divided into two categories, depending on whether the variables are continuous or discrete: An optimization problem with discrete ...

  8. Complex analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_analysis

    Complex analysis, traditionally known as the theory of functions of a complex variable, is the branch of mathematical analysis that investigates functions of complex numbers. It is helpful in many branches of mathematics, including algebraic geometry, number theory, analytic combinatorics, and applied mathematics, as well as in physics ...

  9. Initial value problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Initial_value_problem

    Initial value problem. In multivariable calculus, an initial value problem[a] (IVP) is an ordinary differential equation together with an initial condition which specifies the value of the unknown function at a given point in the domain. Modeling a system in physics or other sciences frequently amounts to solving an initial value problem.
