About: Scientific programming language

An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

In computer programming, a scientific programming language can refer to two degrees of the same concept. In a wide sense, a scientific programming language is a programming language that is used widely for computational science and computational mathematics. In this sense, C/C++ and Python can be considered scientific programming languages. Scientific programming languages should not be confused with scientific language in general, which refers loosely to the higher standards in precision, correctness and concision expected from practitioners of the scientific method.

Property Value
dbo:abstract
  • In computer programming, a scientific programming language can refer to two degrees of the same concept. In a wide sense, a scientific programming language is a programming language that is used widely for computational science and computational mathematics. In this sense, C/C++ and Python can be considered scientific programming languages. In a stronger sense, a scientific programming language is one that is designed and optimized for the use of mathematical formula and matrices.Such languages are characterized not only by the availability of libraries performing mathematical or scientific functions, but by the syntax of the language itself. For example, neither C++ nor Python have built-in matrix types or functions for matrix arithmetic (addition, multiplication etc.); instead, this functionality is made available through standard libraries. Scientific programming languages in the stronger sense include ALGOL, APL, Fortran, J, Julia, Maple, MATLAB and R. Scientific programming languages should not be confused with scientific language in general, which refers loosely to the higher standards in precision, correctness and concision expected from practitioners of the scientific method.
