Kinetic equations represent a way of describing the time evolution of a system consisting of a large number of particles. Due to the high number of dimensions and their intrinsic physical properties, the construction of numerical methods represents a challenge and requires a careful balance between accuracy and computational complexity.

==Numerical methods: example too simple==
In the new section Numerical methods, the detailed example given is the simple first-order rate law. However this simple example does not require numerical integration software. As explained in most physical chemistry or chemical kinetics textbooks, the answer is a simple exponential function, and it can be evaluated with a hand calculator or an Excel spreadsheet. I would suggest finding an example which cannot be integrated analytically and which actually requires one of the software programs (or apps) listed.

Original:
Stopped flow methods, which can reduce the mixing time to the order of a millisecond[8][9][10] The stopped flow methods have limitation, for example, we need to consider about the time it takes to mix gases or solutions and are not suitable if the half-life is less than about a hundredth of a second.

Explanation:
There is a typo. The word 'about' should not be in this sentence. [[User:Storsmellen|Storsmellen]] ([[User talk:Storsmellen|talk]]) 14:09, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
