This article reports on a panel discussion with the same title at the "Workshop on Problems Relating Computer Science to Numerical Analysis" held at the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute at Berkeley, California on January 17, 1986. Speeches by the four panelists (Chorin, Collela, Kahan and Karp) are summarized, as well as discussions initiated by other participants. Additional comments by four leading scientists in this interdisciplinary area (Denning, Gear, Perlis and Rice) are included in an appendix.
