Introduction

Science revoluation in the first half of 20th cent.

Computer and computing revolution in the
second half of the 20th century
Scientific journals from the revolution:
Journal of Computational Physics, 1966
Journal of Computational Chemistry, 1980
Journal of Computational Biology, 1994
Mathematical Geosciences, 2008

Dari Kimia atau Fisika Komputasi

Menuju Sains Komputasi

Sains komputasi membutuhkan penyamaan

bahasa ilmiah antar berbagai bidang sains.
Ke depan: explanation power vs. prediction
power, spesifik bidang vs. interdisiplin
Ke depan: nanoscience, material science, dll.
membutuhkan kerjasama antara experimental
& computational scientists
Sains komputasi dianggap sebagai salah satu
hal yang akan menentukan daya saing bangsa
