engineer devoted to producing numerical simulations based on a
scientific analysis and with computers. Most of problems that
can be formalised with mathematical equations lead to problems
too complicated to be solved with elementary methods or with
methods of formal calculus. The objective of scientific
computing is to propose approximate numerical solutions for
problems that can be modelised with a mathematical equation. The
development of scientific computing is related to the increasing
of computer power. It is an applied science in continuous
evolution. The industries that use and develop scientific
computing are first the main partners of State technical
administrations in charge of the conception and development of
complex systems: space and aeronautics, nuclear, automotive
industry, petroleum industry, civil engineering. Reduced to
