Excerpt from Numerical ysis and the Scientific Method
The ages of history are demarcated as much by the rise and fall of ideas and technology as by the rise and fall of empires and nations. In this sense the com puter age is a turning point for human events as was the earlier industrial revolution based upon mechanical energy. With a narrower focus, we consider the impact of the computer revolution on science. Turning points in science are marked by the introduction of new ideas and new tools, and especially by developments which are both tools and ideas. With the invention of calculus, the electron microscope and dna sequencing, one finds an ability to formulate, understand and solve a range of problems which had previously been inaccessible. Judged from this perspective, the computer revolution will have an impact on science at least as large as did these.
