The authors introduce geomathematics as an active research area to a
wider audience. Chapter 1 presents an introduction to the Earth as a
system to apply scientific methods. Emphasis is laid on transfers from
virtual models to reality and vice versa. In the second chapter
geomathematics is introduced as a new scientific area which
nevertheless has its roots in antiquity. The modern conception of
geomathematics is outlined from different points of view and its
challenging nature is described as well as its interdisciplinarity.
Geomathematics is shown as the bridge between the real world and the
virtual world. The complex mathematical tools are shown from a variety
of fields necessary to tackle geoscientific problems in the
mathematical language. Chapter 3 contains some exemplary applications
as novel exploration methods. Particular importance is laid on the
change of language when it comes to translate measurements to
mathematical models. New solution methods like the multiscale
mollifier technique are presented. Further applications discussed are
aspects of reflection seismics. Chapter 4 is devoted to the short
description of recent activities in geomathematics. The Appendix
(Chapter 5) is devoted to the GEM – International Journal on
Geomathematics founded ten years ago. Besides a detailed structural
analysis of the editorial goals an index of all papers published in
former issues is given.
