Summary
Preliminaries
The dawn of the twentieth century marked the beginning of the numerical solution of differential equations in mathematical physics and engineering. Numerical solutions were carried out by hand and using desk calculators for the first half of the twentieth century, then by digital computers for the later half of the century. In Section 1.1, a brief summary of the history of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) will be given, along with the organization of text.
