Computational Science and Engineering

Computational science and engineering, also known as scientific computing, is the field of study concerned with constructing mathematical models and numerical solution techniques and using computers to analyze and solve scientific, social scientific, engineering, economic, and financial engineering problems. In practical use, it is typically the application of computer simulation and other forms of computation to problems in various scientific disciplines. The field is distinct from computer science (the study of computation, computers and information processing). It is also different from theory and experiment which are the traditional forms of science and engineering. The scientific computing approach is to gain understanding, mainly...
