- I've seen the term Ansatz used (in English) to describe the
- mathematical structure that is set up to analyse a physics problem or
- solve a mathematical physics problem; but none of several English
- dictionaries I've check contain this term, nor do my Deutsch-English
- dictionaries give much clue to this usage. Can anyone quote any
- authoritative references on this particular usage?
