โฆ Synopsis
In this paper, we show how to avoid continuum concepts altogether for both Newtonian mechanics and for special relativistic mechanics.
For Newtonian mechanics, we will establish all the usual conservation laws. For both Newtonian mechanics and for special relativistic mechanics, we will prove Galilean invariance for inertial systems. For easy comparison, discrete and continuous concepts will often be juxtaposed.

We consider numerical methods which exactly preserve the GaussยฑPoisson equation when solving the charge conservation and MaxwellยฑAmpeร re's equations. Apart from the well-known leap-frog method, we present two situations where this property is veriยฎed, one with rectangular mesh and functions deยฎned
