We will discuss a broad definition of computational science to be the interdisciplinary area between computer science and all application areas.
We suggest traditionally that simulation has been focus of computational science but that today there is more student interest in information based applications and that these benefit from an interdisciplinary approach similar to simulation areas.
We discuss implications for physics education and
Use of distance education to teach such new curricula
