Three ways to “do” sciences
Experimental Theoretical
Computational
Computational sciences have been expanding rapidly
1) Complexity of problems and amount of experimental data are
both increasing rapidly;
2) Computational resources are now widely available;
3) More researchers trained to work with computation;
4) A positive feed-back loop between 1) and 2/3) .

Bridge different levels of knowledge
Before computer simulation:
microscopic data and theory
approximate analytical theories
measurable properties in real experiments
Computer simulation:
microscopic data and theory
computable microscopic model
”exact” computer experiments
”measurable” properties in computer experiments
measurable properties in real world

Advantages
It is often easier to handle complexity in silico than
in real world.
a) Truly controllable experimental context
b) Easier decoupling of compounding factors
c) Lower costs
