Computer Applications Pharmaceutical Research and Development

In less than a generation we have seen the impressive impact of computer science on many fields, which has changed not only the ways in which we communicate in business but also the processes in industry from product manufacturing to sales and marketing. Computing has had a wide influence by implementation of predictions based on statistics, mathematics, and risk assessment algorithms. These predictions or simulations represent a way to rapidly make decisions, prototype, innovate, and, importantly, learn quickly from failure. The computer is really just a facilitator using software and a user interface to lower the threshold of entry for individuals to benefit from complex fields such as mathematics, statistics, physics, biology, chemistry, and engineering.
