For instance, graph theory is essential to the study of molecular structures and material science, many problems in linear algebra involve discrete algorithms, and the parallelization of scientific computations leads to numerous combinatorial problems. Some of these many successes are reviewed, and suggestions are made for new opportunities at this intersection of disciplines.}, identifier = {02152741}, }
