Numerical computing is a field of mathematics where problems are made to be solved on a computing device. A variety of software tools exists for this purpose. In fact, MATLAB, Mathematica, Octave, and Scilab are specialized softwares for this purpose. A developer can also use general-purpose programming languages such as C, C++, Python, and Julia to define mathematical problems, but specialized softwares present predefined libraries that have been either optimized for stability or speed or, in same cases, for both. They can also be produced on targeted hardware for a chosen hardware platform. Thus, using specialized software is a good way to learn the numerical recipes for physical problems in an easy fashion. But, the primary question is why we should go for a numerical solution at all.
