Mathematical models arise in a wide variety of fields, including weather forecasting, engineering, business and finance, science, and medicine. The application of computer methods to simulate such models has revolutionized these fields and is one of the most significant achievements of the computer age. Developing and analyzing such models so that the computer simulations can be carried out efficiently and accurately involves more than classical mathematics and elementary computer science. They include issues such as: the implications of imprecision and round-off errors, the efficiency, accuracy and stability of numerical computations, the development and maintenance of mathematical software, and the effects of modern developments in computer architectures and networks.
