Computational Modeling
Computational Modeling
Computational Modeling (pronunciation: /kəmˌpjuːtəˈʃəːn(ə)l ˈmɒd(ə)lɪŋ/) is a method used in computer science and related fields to create a mathematical representation of a system or a phenomenon.
Etymology
The term "computational" is derived from the word "compute", which originates from the Latin word "computare", meaning "to calculate". "Modeling" comes from the Middle English word "modelle", which means a miniature representation of something.
Definition
Computational Modeling involves the use of algorithms, mathematical modeling, and computer simulation to study and understand complex systems and phenomena. It is a tool used in various fields such as biology, physics, economics, and medicine to predict, analyze, and visualize various scenarios.
