Talk:Computational science

Computational Science/Scientific Computing

I switched the redirects. It seems to me that the name Computational Science is winning (e.g., http://www.siam.org/students/resources/report.php). JJL 23:54, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Advertising links

The page should not have advertising links. JJL removed one, rightly. I removed two more but JJL put them back. It is not acceptable to have links to specific colleges running computation courses. There are hundreds of such courses - why should two be singled out for free advertising on wikipedia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.243.220.41 (talk) 16:31, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this is advertising in this case. Both links have extensive materials on computational science education, which is why I included them. (I'm not associated with either in any way.) Take a look at the links and let me know what you think. JJL (talk) 17:48, 10 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the bigger problem is the actual advertising. Currently there are links to websites that are nothing but fake reviews and links to commercial software. I am going to delete them as they are not real computational science resources but nothing more than ad sites. As for college courses linked, if they are reasonable, why not? I doubt that anyone will assume that links from WP are an official endorsement! 128.200.46.67 (talk) 00:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Higher quality article needed.

Computational science is a huge subject, and such a small article hardly does it any justice. Those who read this article would likely be left scratching their heads wondering exactly what the field really is. I suggest adding some real world examples of what is done. For example, some pictures/animations etc.
