Computational Science
Modern science is computational science. We use computers to simulate models of reality, thus exchanging the classic laboratory with a digital one. In some fields, this is the most efficient way to test solutions, e.g. aerodynamics of aircrafts, market models and electric circuit simulations. In other fields it is the only way: when trying to understand the basic “rules” of our universe, numerical simulations provide the only window into many rich and unexplored phenomena in the world of elementary particle and nuclear physics.
