Mathematics for modern precision engineering.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of precision engineering is the accurate control of geometry. For this reason, mathematics has a long association with precision engineering: from the calculation and correction of angular scales used in surveying and astronomical instrumentation to statistical averaging techniques used to increase precision. This study illustrates the enabling role the mathematical sciences are playing in precision engineering: modelling physical processes, instruments and complex geometries, statistical characterization of metrology systems and error compensation.

Sir Christopher Wren is widely acknowledged as a key individual in the formation of the Royal Society, a society initially advocated ‘for the promotion of physicomathematical experimental learning’. Many people would not be surprised to learn that England’s most famous architect was a driving force behind the Royal Society. But most people would not know that Wren was at that time an astronomer...

متن کاملNumerical Solution of MHD Flow over a Nonlinear Porous Stretching Sheet
In this paper, the MagnetoHydroDynamic (MHD) boundary layer flow over a nonlinear porous stretching sheet is investigated by employing the Homotopy Perturbation Transform Method (HPTM) and the Pade´ approximation. The numerical solution of the governing non-linear problem is developed. Comparison of the present solution is made with the existing solution and excellent agreement is noted. Gr...
متن کاملThe Origin and Limitations of Modern Mathematical Economics: A Historical Approach
We have first demonstrated that Debreu’s view regarding the publication of The Theory of Games and Economic Behavior by von Neumann and Morgenstern in 1944 as the birth of modern mathematical economics is not convincing. In this paper, we have proposed the hypothesis that the coordinated research programs in the 1930’s, initiated by the Econometric Society and the Cowles Commission for Research...
