What is Computational Mathematics?

Mathematical modeling:
- Physical phenomena:
  too expensive to perform all tests with prototypes
- Mathematical model:
  too complex for paper/pencil solution
- Computational model:
  approximation of math. model
- Methods, algorithms, codes, display
Interdisciplinary:
- Science/Engineering
- Core Mathematics
- Numerical Analysis
- Computer Science
- Software Engineering
Important to wide range of applications:
- Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling : Rice University
- CFD Examples : FLUENT
