You
might be aware of the fact that we can use computers to do almost anything.
Now, what if I tell you we can use computers to do science. Yes, you heard it
right! We can use computers to do science and the field that uses computers to
do science is known as Computational
Science.
What
is Computational Science?
Computational
Science is basically integrating computer science, mathematics, physics,
biology, chemistry, and algorithms to solve real life problems. By combining
all the fields, we are able to accurately model the scientific problems.
Computational Science heavily relies on mathematics and computer programs to
compute massive amount of calculations to understand the nature of the problem.
Computational Science has three main branches such as computational physics,
computational biology, and computational chemistry.

Who
uses Computational Science?
Now,
you might be wondering who uses computational science. Well, it turns out that
every field that uses science is starting to use computational science. The
reason for this is because computational science enables every science related
field to visualize the problem, and accurately map out the science behind the
problems. For instance, meteorologists use computational science to figure out
the future weather and predict the long term climate changes. Another field
that successfully uses computational science is biology. Biologists use
computational science to understand the functions of our organs. Computational
Science enables biologists to model things at molecular level which enables
them to design new medicines. Overall, Computational Science is at heart of
every concrete science fields.
I
hope you learned something new about Computational Science from this post. I am
looking forward to hear your opinion and suggestions about this post, so please

Hi Jay,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to read your post again.
It is not easy to write articles about science. but your post clearly tells readers what Computational science is and who are using it.
Recently, I read some materials about computational science. Just as you said, it is very useful. Almost all fields related science are using it including Chemistry, Astronaut, and Biology. Geographers can use it to reconstruct earthquake. Meteorologists are using it to predict the future weather. It is powerful.
The images given are helping you clarify your topic. I like them.
Anyway, it is a good post.
Hey Jay,
ReplyDeleteAwesome job on your blog! A lot of people were having trouble thinking of a topic to write for this blog but it seemed like you knew what you were doing. I really liked how you first gave the definition of computational science and then explained the important uses of it. Also good job for remembering to include your sources because I know a lot of students forget to do so. Keep up the good work!
Hello Jay,
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed reading your blog post about Computational Science. I like how you started your post by stating a fact. I loved the way you format your blog post because it was in a nice question and answer format. For people who wanted to know straight forward information, it would be very convenient. Images that you have used for this post goes along with what you are writing. Overall, this post was a great read. I am looking forward to read your future posts.
