Abstract

With advances in theoretical understanding of physical processes, and availability of high-performance computers, computational methods in science and engineering have acquired a new prominence. Developers are using a multitude of programming languages to program the diversity of applications in computational science and engineering (CSE). Programming languages are like tool boxes for use in constructing an engineered artifact, namely the program. Choosing the right sets of tools significantly affect the productivity of the software development process and the quality of the end product. This survey examines various categories of programming languages in use today and the contexts in which they are useful.
