An outline of this work is presented here—a road map of the journey.
The chapters are designed so that they are most comprehensible if followed
in the order the material is presented. In addition to dealing with the specifics
of how geometry can be created for the purpose of engineering analysis,
this work takes a wider outlook on the world of geometry, both of today and
yesterday. It shows how the geometry is fundamental to nature and how it
is interconnected with the world around us. The historical background
provided shows the progression of the geometrical science from the dawn
of civilization to the multiple specialized disciplines that the geometry has
evolved into today. The world of geometry is a vast ocean and only a few drops
of it are presented here. While the work touches upon the complex nature of
geometry’s axioms and theorems, the presentation aims to be accessible to all
technically minded readers.
From the original conception, this publication was intended as a companion
for the Author’s earlier work—Heat Transfer Modelling Using COMSOL: Slab
to Radial Fin [1]. Thus, the contents of this publication are complementary
to the earlier one, with minimum overlap between the two. This also means
that most of the examples used in this work are the same as in the earlier one,
providing the reader with opportunity to learn about model creation in this
publication and to continue to learn about the analysis step by working with
the earlier book.
