So, what is scientific computing? It is computing to support science (!) Using machinery of counting/calculation to aid in: refuting/validating hypotheses, modeling a natural stochastic data-generating process Scientific method (making use of computation): Ask a question (exploratory data analysis) Formulate a hypothesis (use a model)
