I have been searching the net for a few days as to what all courses i must have done to make sense of the field of Computational Mathematics. I came up with these: 1.) Discrete Mathematics and Data Structures 2.) Programming Languages. 3.) Differential Equations.

I was looking for a better list with more areas of math and an instance to explain what makes that area useful in computational math. Anyone ?

tandemcoder, welcome to SciComp! Your question is a good question for those starting out in computational science. It is also a question that will provoke a lot of opinions and discussion. For that reason, it is not a good fit for the Stack Exchange format. If you have any other questions about computational science, I encourage you to ask them here. – Geoff Oxberry♦ Jul 4 '12 at 18:56
