From Number Crunching to Virtual Reality: Mathematics, Physics and Computation

A chapter in Mathematics Unlimited — 2001 and Beyond, 2001, pp 937-959 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The exponential growth in the availability of affordable computing power has caused a paradigm shift in many areas of science and engineering. Within its traditional stronghold, the physical sciences, mathematical modeling is flourishing as ever more sophisticated models are introduced to describe complex phenomena. The numerical solutions of the models are coupled to massive amounts of data with powerful analysis and visualization tools. The art and science of modeling is also consolidating itself in many non-traditional areas of application, such as life and social sciences.
