* '''Numerical Computation.''' More and more mathematicians and computer scientists are using computers to do research, eg. to collect data, test new theories or process experimental results. Some researchers have even tried to use computers to prove theorems! (A proof to the four-color theorem was, controversially, completely produced by computer.) Ever faster algorithms need to be invented to cope with this massive increase in demand. | * '''Numerical Computation.'''
