A question which is often asked is whether it is necessary for geologists to know and to use mathematics in the practise of their science. There is no simple answer to this question, and it is true that many geologists have had successful careers without ever needing to get involved in anything other than simple mathematics, and all the indications are that this is likely to continue into the future. However, in many branches of the subject the trend has been towards using a numerical approach for the solution of suitable problems. The extent to which this occurs depends on the nature of the area being studied; thus, in structural geology, which is con cerned in its simplest aspects with the geometrical relationships between various features, there are many problems which are easily solved. More recently the use of analytical methods has allowed the solution of more-difficult problems. In another area, geochemistry, two things have happened. On the theoretical side there has been a greater integration with physical chemistry, which itself is a highly mathematical subject; and on the practical side there is th | | 出版日期 | Book 1988 | | 关键词 | geology; mathematics | | 版次 | 1 | | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-015-4009-4 | | isbn_softcover | 978-94-015-4011-7 | | isbn_ebook | 978-94-015-4009-4 | | copyright | Springer-Verlag London 1988 |
