Information about Computational Mathematics
Computational mathematics involves mathematical research in areas of science where computing plays a central and essential role, emphasizing algorithms, numerical methods, and symbolic methods. Computation in the research is prominent.[1] Computational mathematics emerged as a distinct part of applied mathematics by early 1950s. Currently, computational mathematics can refer to or include:
- scientific computation, also known as computational science or computational engineering, particularly when done by mathematicians
- solving mathematical problems by computer simulation as opposed to analytic methods of applied mathematics
- numerical methods used in scientific computation, for example numerical linear algebra and numerical solution of partial differential equations
- stochastic methods,[2] such as Monte Carlo methods and other representations of uncertainty in scientific computation, for example stochastic finite elements
- the mathematics of scientific computation[3] (the theoretical side involving mathematical proofs[4]), in particular numerical analysis, the theory of numerical methods (but theory of computation and complexity of algorithms belong to theoretical computer science)
- symbolic computation and computer algebra systems
- computer assisted research in various areas of mathematics, such as logic (automated theorem proving), discrete mathematics (search for mathematical structures, such as groups), number theory (primality testing and factorization), cryptography, and computational algebraic topology
- computational linguistics, the use of mathematical and computer techniques in natural languages

In mathematics, a proof is a demonstration that, assuming certain axioms, some statement is necessarily true. A proof is a logical argument, not an empirical one. That is, one must demonstrate that a proposition is true in all cases before it is considered a theorem of mathematics.
