Features: This book is the third edition of "Introduction to Computational Science" published by our press. Based on the scientific theoretical system for talent cultivation in the first-level discipline of Computer Science and Technology (abbreviated as Computational Science), and following the outline of integrated design for discipline series textbooks, the book systematically introduces the definition, characteristics, scope, forms, historical origins, development changes, knowledge organization structure, and classification system of computer science from the perspective of scientific philosophy. It also covers the disciplinary cultivation model, curriculum system, and other content. Additionally, using disciplinary methodology as an entry point, it systematically introduces the fundamental issues, disciplinary forms, core concepts, typical methods, typical examples, and basic workflow of computational science within the scope of scientific philosophy, focusing on disciplinary paradigms. The book systematically elaborates on the characteristics, laws of development, and intrinsic laws of disciplinary teaching and talent cultivation in computational science. The entire book is clear in concept, rich in content, and is positioned as an advanced popular science work. Its popular and fluent language, easy-to-understand descriptions, and rigorous conceptual design help readers gain a comprehensive understanding of computational science, recognize computational science, and learn computational science. This book can be used as a textbook or teaching reference for the "Introduction to Computational Science" course in computer science and technology programs at universities.
