Science and Numerical Methods
From the earliest days of the discipline, numerical methods and the techniques
of scientific computing have constituted a major area of computer science
research As computers increase in their problem-solving power, this area
-- like much of the discipline -- has grown in both breadth and importance
At the end of the millennium, scientific computing stands as an intellectual
discipline in its own right, closely related to but nonetheless distinct
from computer science This area offers exposure to many valuable ideas
and techniques, including precision of numerical representation, error
analysis, numerical techniques, parallel architectures and algorithms,
modelling and simulation, and scientific visualization.
