Computational Science
introduction
 ASL | The first question usually asked by people who don't know of computational science is, "What is it?" Put simply, it is using computers to do science. |
ASL | Computational science involves the appropriate use of a computational architecture (possibly a computer, calculator, abacus, dice, poker chips, etc.) to apply an algorithm to solve some scientific application, or problem. This combination of Application, Algorithm, and Architecture results in a model, which can be used as a scientific tool. |
ASL | The second question usually asked about computational science is "How does it fit in with traditional descriptions of science?" Often the mathematical sciences are described in terms of experimental science, theoretical science, and observational science. |
