Is It Possible to Start a Numerical Analysis Section on Our Forum?

  • Suggestion
  • Thread starter bda23
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation was about the possibility of creating a Numerical Analysis section for mathematicians, scientists, and engineers. The suggestion was that there may be a large group of members who could benefit from it. However, it was mentioned that new forums are not created unless there is already traffic in that topic. Instead, discussions on algorithms and programming for numerical methods can be found in the Programming & Comp Sci subforum of Computers & Technology. This can also include topics such as Runge-Kutta methods, finite element analysis, and finite volume methods. The conversation also mentioned that discussions on FEA/CFD/Multiphysics can be found under Mechanical Engineering, while the mathematical theory behind these methods can be found in Calculus & Analysis

Hi, prompted by another person's post I was wondering whether it was possible to start a Numerical Analysis section for mathematicians, scientists and engineers. I could imagine there's a potentially large group of members who'd benefit from it. Just a suggestion.

We don't make new forums to wait for traffic, we split the old ones when it is obvious the traffic exists.

If you're referring to algorithms and programming for numerical methods, the appropriate place is the Programming & Comp Sci subforum of Computers & Technology. We occasionally have threads about Runge-Kutta methods, etc.

Thanks for your posts, makes sense. Programming for numerical methods can already be helpful, so I will look at those sections you mentioned. Runge-Kutta, finite element, finite volume, etc. was what I was also thinking of, the mathematical theory behind them, the technicalities in using them for problems, etc.

FEA/CFD/Multiphysics are often discussed under Mechanical Engineering.

Mathematical theory behind some of this is found in Calculus & Analysis or Differential Equations

Programming & Comp Sci under Computing & Technology would be the place to discuss algorithms and programming.

Thanks, I will look at those sections.
