Abstract: Abstract Problems in science and engineering have traditionally been solved by a combination of theory and experiment. In many branches of science, the theories are based on mathematical models, usually in the form of equations describing the physical world. By formulating and solving these equations, one can understand and predict the physical world. The theories are constructed from or validated by physical experiments under controlled conditions.
