Preface

The scientific field of applied and computational mathematics has evolved andexpanded at a very rapid rate during the last few decades. Many subfields havematured, and it is therefore natural to consider publishing an encyclopedia for thefield. Traditional encyclopedias are, however, becoming part of history. For fast,simple, and up-to-date facts they cannot compete with web search engines andweb-based versions of the Wikipedia type. For much more extensive and completetreatments of topics, traditional monographs and review articles in specializedjournals are common. There is an advantage with web-based articles as in Wikipedia,which constantly evolves and adapts to changes. There is also an advantage witharticles that do not change, have known authors, and can be referred to in otherpublications. With the Encyclopedia for Applied and Computational Mathematics(EACM), we are aiming at achieving the best of these two models.

The goal with EACM is a publication with broad coverage by many articles, whichare quality controlled through a traditional peer review process. The articles can beformally cited, and the authors can take credit for their contributions. This publicationwill be frozen in its current form, obviously on paper as well as on the web. Inparallel there will be an electronic version, where the authors can make changesto their articles and where new articles will be added. After a couple of years, thisdynamic version will result in a publication of a new edition of EACM, which can bereferenced while the dynamic electronic version continues to evolve. The length ofthe articles is also chosen to fill the gap between the common shorter web versionsand more specialized longer publications. They are here typically between 5 and 10pages. A few are introductory overviews and a bit longer than the average article.

An encyclopedia will never be complete, and the decision to define the first editionat this time is based on a compromise between the desire of covering the field welland a timely published version. This first edition has 312 articles with the overallnumber of 1,575 pages in 2 volumes. There are few contributions with animations,which will appear in the electronic version. This will be expanded in the future.

The above discussion was about the “E” in EACM. Now we turn to rest of theacronym, “ACM.” Modern applied and computational mathematics is more applied,more computational, and more mathematical than ever. The exponential growth ofcomputational power has allowed for much more complex mathematical models,and these new models are typically more realistic for applications. It is naturalto include both applied and computational mathematics in the encyclopedia eventhough these two fields are philosophically different. In computational mathematics,algorithms are developed and analyzed and may in principle be independent fromapplications. The two fields are, however, now very tightly coupled in practice.

vi Preface

Almost all applied mathematics has some computational components, and mostcomputational mathematics is directly developed for applications.

Computation is now mentioned as the third pillar of science together with theclassical theory and experiments. Scientific progress of today is often based oncritical computational components, which can be seen in the growing contributionfrom computations in recent Nobel Prizes. The importance of mathematical modelingand scientific computing in engineering is even more obvious. The expression“Computational Science and Engineering” has emerged to describe a scientific fieldwhere computations have merged with applications.

Classical fields of applied mathematics, for example, asymptotic analysis andhomogenization, are today not so often used for achieving quantitative results.They are, however, very important in mathematical modeling and in deriving andunderstanding a variety of numerical techniques for multiscale simulations. This isexplained in different settings throughout EACM.

We mentioned above that modern applied and computational mathematics aremore mathematical than ever. In the early days, this coupling was natural. Manyalgorithms that are used today and also discussed in this encyclopedia have the namesof Newton and Gauss. However, during the century before the modern computer,mathematics in its pure form evolved rapidly and became more disconnected fromapplications. The computational tools of pen and paper, the slide rule, and simplemechanical devices stayed roughly the same. We got a clear division between pureand applied mathematics. This has changed with the emergence of the moderncomputer. Models based on much more sophisticated mathematics are now basesfor the quantitative computations and thus practical applications. There are manyexamples of this tighter coupling between applied and computational mathematicson the one hand and what we regard as pure mathematics on the other.

Harmonic analysis is a typical example. It had its origin in applied and compu-tational mathematics with the work of Fourier on heat conduction. However, onlyvery special cases can be studied in a quantitative way by hand. In the years after thisbeginning, there was substantial progress in pure directions of harmonic analysis. Theemergence of powerful computers and the fast Fourier transform (FFT) algorithmdrastically changed the scene. This resulted, for example, in wavelets, the inverseRadon transform, a variety of spectral techniques for PDEs, computational informa-tion, and sampling theory and compressed sensing. The reader will see illustrativeexamples in EACM. Partial differential equations have also had a recent developmentwhere ideas have bounced back and forth between applications, computations, andfundamental theory.

The field of applied and computational mathematics is of course not well defined.We will use the term in a broad sense, but we have not included areas that have theirown identity and where applied and computational mathematics is not what you thinkof even if in a strict sense applied and computational mathematics would be correct.Statistics is the most prominent example. This was an editorial decision. Throughthe process of producing the EACM, there has been a form of self-selection. Whensection editors and authors were asked to cover an area or a topic closer to the core ofapplied and computational mathematics, the success rate was very high. Examples arenumerical analysis and inverse problems. Many applied areas are also well covered,ranging from general topics in fluid and solid mechanics to computational aspects ofchemistry and the mathematics of atmosphere and ocean science.

Preface vii

In fields further from the core, the response was less complete. Examples ofthe latter are the mathematical aspects of computer science and physics, where theresearchers generally do not think of themselves as doing applied and computationalmathematics even when they are. The current encyclopedia naturally does not coverall topics that should ideally have their own articles. We hope to fill these holes in theevolving web-based version and then in the future editions.

Finally, I would like to thank all section editors and authors for their outstandingcontributions and their patience. I also hope that you will continue to improve EACMin its dynamic form and in future editions. Joachim Heinze and Martin Peters atSpringer initiated the process when they came with the idea of an encyclopedia.Martin Peters’ highly professional supervision of the development and publicationprocess has absolutely been critical. I am also very grateful for the excellent supportfrom Ruth Allewelt and Tina Shelton at Springer.
