Multiscale mathematics

Extracted from the Wikipedia article Multiscale modeling.

Multiscale modeling or multiscale mathematics is the field of solving problems that have important features at multiple scales of time and/or space. Important problems include multiscale modeling of fluids, solids, polymers, proteins, nucleic acids as well as various physical and chemical phenomena (like adsorption, chemical reactions, diffusion). Statistical modeling techniques are increasingly integrated into multiscale modeling frameworks to bridge information between scales and quantify uncertainty. These approaches allow researchers to combine atomistic, mesoscale, and continuum data using probabilistic methods, improving predictive accuracy in complex systems.
