Is what?

What does it mean to "be the mathematics"? The scientific process has relied for decades past on mathematical tools: equations, theorems, statistical inference. That arsenal is currently, constantly, being supplemented with computational methods, algorithms and simulations.

Then, there's the other tools: from massively parallel supercomputers to run simulations of chaotic systems, to the tiniest chip preprocessing data inside a measuring instrument at a weather station. The new hardware tools demand novel computational thinking, which in turns creates the new software tools.

For computer science to be the new mathematics is a relative measure of the importance (by weight, volume or speed) of the new, computationally-minded and derived tools. It's interesting to track their progress in service of science.
