Computational physics

Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical analysis to solve problems in physics. Historically, computational physics was the first application of modern computers in science, and is now a subset of computational science. It is sometimes regarded as a subdiscipline (or offshoot) of theoretical physics, but others consider it an intermediate branch between theoretical and experimental physics — an area of study which supplements both theory and experiment.

This article is about computational science applied in physics. For theories comparing the universe to a computer, see digital physics. For the study of the fundamental physical limits of computers, see physics of computation.
