Computing numerically with functions instead of numbers

Science and engineering depend upon computation of functions such as flow fields, charge distributions, and quantum states. Ultimately, such computations require some kind of discretization, but in recent years it has become possible in many cases to hide the discretizations from the user. We presen...
