    Actually there is such a thing as "Scientific Computing" which is close to
    Hoover's "Sciences Computing". In one of these course here at UT Austin,
    the material covered included algorithms for processing matrices and the
    related problems. Other topics might include methods for integral and
    differential calculus or digital signal processing. All of these are
    useful techniques that require different approaches from symbolic
    processing used in AI, for example. Or information processing in business
    applications.
