1
Definition of Computational Science Computational Science for NRM D. Wang Computational science is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary field that uses advanced computing capabilities to understand and solve complex problems. Three distinct elements: –Driven by the underlying science/engineering/humanities problems; –Solve the problems through simulations; –Using advanced computing technologies systems and infrastructure;
