Abstract
This article discusses some aspects of the application of computers in Physics. Clearly the subject is nowadays very wide: computers are used by physicists in a great variety of ways and the number of different types of application is continually increasing. The article therefore begins by establishing some general principles and then progressively narrows down to one specific field of application, namely the solution of classical partial differential equations in hydrodynamics and plasma physics which is the author’s main field of interest. The last section deals with practical programming techniques and considers the scope for international collaboration. It is hoped that in this way both the wood as a whole and some of the more significant and interesting trees will be adequately displayed.
