In computational physics, the devil is often in the scales. This post explores how normalisation—when grounded in sound physical principles—can transform unstable simulations into elegant, interpretable models. From wave equations to diffraction integrals, it’s a practical workflow I’ve relied on for years, now distilled into a new paper and shared for the wider community.
With all that is happening with Covid-19, perhaps relevant to remind ourselves about exponential growth.
