Normalisation: A True Workflow for Mathematical Physics
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… Read More »Normalisation: A True Workflow for Mathematical Physics
Exponential Growth and Epidemics
With all that is happening with Covid-19, perhaps relevant to remind ourselves about exponential growth.
