I suppose the most appropriate topic to start the talk page would the definition and scope of the subject matter. Based on that at computational science at time of writing, I take the view that the subject is mostly quantitatively/numerically based, (except for the odd symbolic method). However, due to recent developments in grid computing, eScience and distributed systems there is strong argument for the inclusion of these as well. A simpler, more relaxed defintion might simply be the application of computing to scientific problems (which itself might be another issue). This might require some discussion on where certain fields fit into, so that a relevant timeline can be constructed. See also talk:computational science.
For example: this might rule out subjects geo-, chemo-, astro- and bioinformatics (although the distinction of the latter from computational biology is not clear to me). More generally, I do think the distinction between computational x-ology(based on problems from x-istry/ics/ology) and x-informatics(based on informatics/informational approach) is enough to warrant the creation of a separate article (and timeline) for the latter (if it doesn't exist).

Looking at the article, it would seem there are clear instances of systemic bias. This thread is to try deal with this.
A few issues one can think of:
See also wp:neutral point of view, it is something I myself will be going over. Ema--or ( talk) 02:22, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
“Computer Science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes.” - Dijkstra.
Shame. Well, though - I guess it was a good 4 years (and a 1/2) or so .. Ema--or ( talk) 02:35, 28 August 2017 (UTC)
What is the definition of this field? Does it for, example, include signal processing, which is itself a slightly nathematical field? Ema--or ( talk) 21:23, 6 September 2015 (UTC)
It appears that several timeline articles were spun off by the same person that contain roughly the same information about scientific computing/numerical analysis topics but with different titles, probably with the intention to discuss events critical to those subfields. However, it doesn't appear that any real progress has been made in fleshing any of them out into truly separate entities that highlight the distinguishing features. Timeline of modern scientific computing is a duplicate of this article, Timeline of computational mathematics was last seriously edited in 2015, Timeline of numerical analysis after 1945 in 2014, and Timeline of computational physics in 2013. Given that these individual articles have stagnated and still contain roughly the same information, it seems that the obvious solution is to merge them all back into one for conciseness. -- Blueclaw ( talk) 16:16, 10 May 2017 (UTC)
