Numerical analysis or Numerical calculation

when a numerical value is needed as a solution to amathematical problem, and
the "exact" or "analytical" procedures (algebraic manipulations, theory
ofdifferential equationsmethods ofintegrationetc.) are unable to give a
response. Due to a Hello, these are frequently used procedures.

that experimental physics, for example, never yields exact values
but ratherintervalsthat encompass the vast majority of experimental results obtained,
since it is not common for two measurements of the same phenomenon to yield values
exactly the same.
The problems of this discipline can be divided into two fundamental groups:
Finite dimensional problems: those whose answer is a set
finished with numbers, like thealgebraic equations, thedeterminants, the
problems ofeigenvalues, etc.
Infinite dimensional problems: problems in whose solution or
approach involves elements described by an infinite amount of
numbers, such as integration andderivationnumerical, equation calculation
differentials,interpolation, etc.
Classification based on its nature or motivation
Likewise, there is a sub-classification of these two main sections into three.
categories of problems, addressing their nature or motivation for employment
numerical calculation:
Problems of such complexity that they do not have an analytical solution.
Problems for which there is an analytical solution, but this, due to
complexity or other reasons, it cannot be easily exploited in the
practice.
Problems for which there are simple methods but that, for elements
that are used in practice, require an excessive amount of calculations;
greater than necessary for a numerical method.
Numerical modeling
It is a technique based on thenumerical calculation, used in many fields of

refute modelsconceptualproposed based on observations or derived from
previous theories. If the calculation of the equations that represent the model
the proposed one is capable of adjusting the observations, then it is referred to as a model
consistent with the same, and it is also said that the numerical model that confirms
the hypotheses (the model); if the calculation does not allow in any case to reproduce the
observations, it speaks of a model inconsistent with the data and that refutes the
conceptual model. This term is often used as a synonym forsimulation
numericThe numerical modeling process usually includes the following steps:
1. Choose the set of observations that the model must account for.
2. Define the conceptual model (simplifications, approximations, hypotheses)

3. Find aphysical-mathematical model a set of equations that
represent the conceptual model.
4. Find a numerical method for solving these equations. With
The term 'numerical modeling' is commonly used for this step.
5. Find the conditions (the parameter space region of the model) in
which the resolution of the mathematical model is capable of explaining the
observations.
6. Interpret the results.
