The mathematician Richard Hamming said "The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers." There should be some corollary that says "The purpose of modeling is understanding the physical world--not just to study the model."Jim Meanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02894982663277625491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2759913671101666257.post-1820053920121802432012-10-20T09:43:24.719-05:002012-10-20T09:43:24.719-05:00I get a little worried when I wander through the p...I get a little worried when I wander through the posters at AGU or AMS and see how much importance is given to modeling, in contrast to observation and analysis.
