What+is+Computational+Science?


 * Wikipedia states that, "Computational science (or** 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] and [|engineering] problems. In practical use, it is typically the application of [|computer simulation] and other forms of [|computation] to problems in various scientific disciplines."**

What Computational Science will you find here?** Mostly computer simulations of climate data. The definition of computer simulations is taken from Wikipedia, again. " Computer simulations vary from computer programs that run a few minutes, to network-based groups of computers running for hours, to ongoing simulations that run for days. The scale of events being simulated by computer simulations has far exceeded anything possible (or perhaps even imaginable) using the traditional paper-and-pencil [|mathematical modeling]: over 10 years ago, a desert-battle simulation, of one force invading another, involved the modeling of 66,239 tanks, trucks and other vehicles on simulated terrain around [|Kuwait], using multiple supercomputers in the [|DoD] High Performance Computer Modernization Program; [|[2]] a 1-billion-atom model of material deformation [|(2002)]; a 2.64-million-atom model of the complex maker of protein in all organisms, a [|ribosome], in 2005;[|[3]] and the [|Blue Brain] project at [|EPFL] (Switzerland), began in May 2005, to create the first computer simulation of the entire human brain, right down to the molecular level.
