Some Hail 'Computational Science' as Biggest Advance Since Newton, Galileo.
Turner, Judith Axler
Chronicle of Higher Education, v33 n34 p1,8-9 May 6 1987
Computational science is defined as science done on a computer. A computer can serve as a laboratory for researchers who cannot experiment with their subjects, and as a calculator for those who otherwise might need centuries to solve some problems mathematically. The National Science Foundation's support of supercomputers is discussed. (MLW)
