Computational physics is the study and implementation of numerical analysis to solve problems in physics for which a quantitative theory already exists.

Description

Historically, computational physics was the first application of modern computers in science, and is now a subset of computational science.

Relationship to physics

It is sometimes regarded as a subdiscipline (or offshoot) of theoretical physics, but others consider it an intermediate branch between theoretical and experimental physics, a third way that supplements theory and experiment.
