How Are Numerical Methods Applied in Geophysics?

AI Thread Summary
Numerical methods such as Bisection, Newton Raphson, Secant, Simpson, Euler, and Lagrange are crucial in geophysics, particularly in seismic imaging. These methods facilitate the processing and interpretation of seismic data, enhancing the accuracy of subsurface modeling. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding seismic imaging algorithms to effectively apply numerical techniques. Exposure to seismic acquisition and processing is beneficial for leveraging these methods in practical scenarios. Mastery of numerical methods can significantly improve outcomes in geophysical studies.

I am studying numerical and programming course in this semester, I was asked to know the applications of this course (numerical methods like Bisection, Newton Raphson, Secant, Simpson, Euler and Lagrange) in geophysics and how can I exploit these methods in seismic or in geophysics in general.
Thanks.

I have studied Seismic acquistion and processing and iterpretation courses and I see seismic sections
 
TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
