Numerical Computation
- •
What it is
- •
transforming continuous mathematical formulations (differential/nonlinear models arising from physical conservation laws — mass, Navier-Stokes momentum, heat transfer, Maxwell's equations) into finite, discrete arithmetic operations, solved iteratively within an error tolerance

- •
Why it matters
- •
modern engineering models frequently have no exact closed-form analytical solution — numerical computation is what makes them solvable at all
