Abstract

This chapter defines the subject “numerics” of this book, as opposed to other subjects important for numerical weather prediction, such as data assimilation or radiation. The practical engineering approach prevalent in this book is exemplified, as opposed to a mainly theoretical approach. An overview of the different subjects treated is given.
