Mathematics: applied computer science

George Stephanopoulos In that case, one must recognize the fact that systems engineering is a man-made science. It is not a natural science. Process control theory, process design, operations analysis, and fault diagnosis are not driven by advances in chemistry, biology, or physics. They are driven by advances in a separate set of scientific endeavors, such as applied mathematics, logic, computer science.

The ability to accurately predict and analyze molecular recognition is being achieved by advances in several areas of theoretical chemistry and related fields such as applied mathematics and computational science. This chapter provides an overview of the history, current state and future prospects for computational studies of molecular recognition.

Applied mathematics and computational science are used in almost every area of science, engineering, and technology. Business also relies on applied mathematics and computational science for research, design, and manufacture of products that include aircraft, automobiles, computers, communication systems, and pharmaceuticals. Research in applied mathematics therefore often leads to the development of new mathematical models, theories, and applications that contribute to diverse fields. 

Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) http //www.siam.org/ (accessed November 7, 2010). SIAM membership is broad and includes students and professionals in applied and computational mathematics, numerical analysis, statistics, and engineers working in industry and acad ia. SIAM strives to advance the application of mathematics and computational science to engineering, industry, science, and society through membership activities, publications (books and journals), and conferences.

Microcomputers, introduced in the late 1970 s have revolutionized the use of computers. The availability of easy-to-use, inexpensive softwares has also contributed to the upsurge in computer usage. Small systems, with compute power and capability equivalent to large multimillion dollar main frames, are now affordable by small organizations as well as individuals. In this paper the use of computers in applied polymer science will be introduced, using successful applications in our own laboratory as examples. The emphasis is on the application of mathematical modelling and computer simulation techniques. 

Constraints in optimization arise because a process must describe the physical bounds on the variables, empirical relations, and physical laws that apply to a specific problem, as mentioned in Section 1.4. How to develop models that take into account these constraints is the main focus of this chapter. Mathematical models are employed in all areas of science, engineering, and business to solve problems, design equipment, interpret data, and communicate information. Eykhoff (1974) defined a mathematical model as a representation of the essential aspects of an existing system (or a system to be constructed) which presents knowledge of that system in a usable form. For the purpose of optimization, we shall be concerned with developing quantitative expressions that will enable us to use mathematics and computer calculations to extract useful information. To optimize a process models may need to be developed for the objective function/, equality constraints g, and inequality constraints h. 

Molecular modeling has evolved as a synthesis of techniques from a number of disciplines—organic chemistry, medicinal chemistry, physical chemistry, chemical physics, computer science, mathematics, and statistics. With the development of quantum mechanics (1,2) in the early 1900s, the laws of physics necessary to relate molecular electronic structure to observable properties were defined. In a confluence of related developments, engineering and the national defense both played roles in the development of computing machinery itself in the United States (3). This evolution had a direct impact on computing in chemistry, as the newly developed devices could be applied to problems in chemistry, permitting solutions to problems previously considered intractable. 

Parallel to the rapid development of instrumental analytical chemistry came the explosive development of computer science and technology, a very powerful tool for the solution of the above problems. It became easier for chemists, and especially analytical chemists, to apply computers and advanced statistical and mathematical methods in their own working fields. It is, therefore, not surprising that these two revolutionary developments led to the formation of a new chemical subdiscipline, called chemometrics. 

It is obvious that every scientist whether in the field of chemistry, mathematics, statistics, or computer science has a different view of the importance of chemometrics. The advantages of applying chemometric methods are more valuable than discussion of the origin and the size of the roots of chemometrics. It should, therefore, be stressed that... 

Problems in engineering, computational science, and the physical and biological sciences are using increasingly sophisticated mathematical techniques. Thus, the bridge between the mathematical sciences and other disciplines is heavily traveled. The correspondingly increased dialog between the disciplines has led to the establishment of the series Interdisciplinary Applied Mathematics. 

The series presents lecture notes, monographs, edited works and proceedings in the held of Mechanics, Engineering, Computer Science and Applied Mathematics.
