Computational Thinking


The Modern Version of the Old Approach to Modeling:

  • Describe the problem in a natural language.

  • Throw away the nonessentials.
    Restate the problem in precise mathematical statements.

  • Use the computer to apply the mathematical techniques.

  • Translate the results into a natural lanquage description.

  • Assess the consequences and formulate further questions.

  • In short, let humans do what humans do well.
    Let computers do what computers do well.
