JACOVKIS, Pablo M.. Computadoras, modelización matemática y ciencia experimental. Rev. iberoam. cienc. tecnol. soc. [online]. 2005, vol.2, n.5, pp.51-63. ISSN 1850-0013.

In this article we argue that the computer not only works as a powerful tool for numerical modeling of problems in experimental science, but also in a certain sense applied mathematics may be considered an experimental science, whose laboratory is the computer, and therefore computer mathematical models are or may become tools to better know phenomena from different disciplines. In addition, one can observe how pure mathematics has also begun to use computers to calculate universal constants and to prove theorems.

Palavras-chave : Mathematical modeling; Numerical experimentation; Experimental science.
