Computation has assumed a status equal
in importance to theory and experiment in many science and
engineering disciplines. Computational
science and engineering is now recognized as a specialty that is well
served by neither a traditional degree in computer science nor a
science or engineering degree. Scientists wishing to contribute
through large-scale computation to leading edge research
must henceforth have a background that includes a significant
share of the course requirements of both types of degrees,
and integrates computing with a science or engineering discipline.
Problems that are ``simple"
enough to be addressed through analytical models alone, or analyzed
through a limited battery of experiments, have become few and
sparse. Most remaining addressable problems involve considerable
complexity, and are best approached through a combination of modes
of investigation that includes skillful computational simulation.
