message: Human-computer interaction – study, planning, and design of the interaction between people (users) and computers.
Numerical analysis – study of algorithms that use numerical approximation (as opposed to general symbolic manipulations) for the problems of mathematical analysis (as distinguished from discrete mathematics).
Algebraic (symbolic) computation – relates to algorithms and software for manipulating mathematical expressions and equations in symbolic form, as opposed to manipulating the approximations of specific numerical quantities represented by those symbols. Software applications that perform symbolic calculations are called computer algebra systems.
Computational number theory – study of algorithms for performing number theoretic computations
Computational mathematics – involves mathematical research in areas of science where computing plays a central and essential role, emphasizing algorithms, numerical methods, and symbolic methods
Scientific computing (Computational science) –
Computational biology (bioinformatics) – involves the development and application of data-analytical and theoretical methods, mathematical modeling and computational simulation techniques to the study of biological, behavioral, and social systems.
Computational science – subfield of computer science concerned with constructing mathematical models and quantitative analysis techniques and using computers to analyze and solve scientific problems
Computational chemistry – branch of chemistry that uses principles of computer science to assist in solving chemical problems
Computational neuroscience – study of brain function in terms of the information processing properties of the structures that make up the nervous system.
Computer-aided engineering – broad usage of computer software to aid in engineering tasks.
Finite element analysis – numerical technique for finding approximate solutions of partial differential equations (PDE) as well as integral equations.
Computational fluid dynamics – branch of fluid mechanics that uses numerical methods and algorithms to solve and analyze problems that involve fluid flows.
Computational economics – research discipline at the interface between computer science and economic and management science
Computational sociology – branch of sociology that uses computationally intensive methods to analyze and model social phenomena.
Computational finance – cross-disciplinary field which relies on computational intelligence, mathematical finance, numerical methods and computer simulations to make trading, hedging and investment decisions, as well as facilitating the risk management of those decisions
Humanities computing (Digital Humanities) – area of research, teaching, and creation concerned with the intersection of computing and the disciplines of the humanities  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.56.17.173 (talk) 20:48, 23 February 2015 (UTC)

message: I just removed the external links section: WP:NOT#LINK. Especially for a list, I thought it was unnecessary.  I'm open to discussion, though.  —BryanD (talk) 20:28, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Guidelines for outlines 

message: Please add some relevant links to the history section.
Links can be found in the "History of" article for this subject, in the "History of" category for this subject, or in the corresponding navigation templates.  Or you could search for topics on Google - most topics turn blue when added to Wikipedia as internal links.

message: "Outline" is short for "hierarchical outline". There are two types of outlines: sentence outlines (like those you made in school to plan a paper), and topic outlines (like the topical synopses that professors hand out at the beginning of a college course). Outlines on Wikipedia are primarily topic outlines that serve 2 main purposes: they provide taxonomical classification of subjects showing what topics belong to a subject and how they are related to each other (via their placement in the tree structure), and as subject-based tables of contents linked to topics in the encyclopedia. The hierarchy is maintained through the use of heading levels and indented bullets. See Wikipedia:Outlines for a more in-depth explanation.  The Transhumanist 00:09, 9 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Quick explanation of Wikipedia outlines 

message: Two points to consider:
1) Other major divisions (natural, social, applied ) have been moved to separate outline pages. Shouldn't the same be done with formal science? Right now, the article seems very unbalanced in terms of the number of words on each topic.
2) Operations research appears in two places: once as a branch of systems science, and once as a branch of optimisation, which, in turn, is shown as a branch of applied mathematics. Two issues here: First, as far as the choice between applied mathematics and systems science, the first seems to me the more natural choice, but that may just reflect my own narrow perspective. In any case, it shouldn't be in both. Second , it seems very strange to call operations research a branch of optimisation. If anything, it's the other way around. But I think that optimisation is simply a description of what operations research does. 
I'm tempted to just be bold and fix these things as I think they ought to be, but I'm going to hold off until some other views are heard from. This is not really my area of expertise, and an outline should reflect a consensus view. Davidhof (talk) 04:51, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
