| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study investigated the beginnings of computer simulation in Japan through case studies on numerical weather prediction of a typhoon and earthquake-resistant design of a skyscraper. In addition to these, the study considered what is common or different about simulations from one scientific field to another. To sum up, for further studies on the history of computer simulations it seems particularly relevant to pay attention to such aspects as the continuity of simulations and older methods, the relationship of a computer simulation to other ways of research, and the epistemological status of the laws or equations serving as a basis of the simulation. The problems in the novel research field of “history of computer simulations” have been made more specific.
