Abstract

Presented (in preliminary form) at the IEEE Computer Society Workshop on Computational Science & Engineering, Oct. 1996, Purdue University, by John Rice. Extensive tests showed that many software codes widely used in science and engineering are not as accurate as we would like to think. Better software engineering practices would help solve this problem, but realizing that the problem exists is an important first step.
