Huxley's effort to create a scientific 'biology' based on morphology and physiology had broken down, partly because it was obvious that field studies were necessary to solve certain kinds of biological questions.
Still, DNA computers might solve certain kinds of problems faster than the fastest supercomputer.
Although they were created to solve similar kinds of problems, and have similar syntax, they are actually quite different.
The study of human problem solving required new kinds of human measurements and, with Anders Ericsson, Simon developed the experimental technique of verbal protocol analysis.
There is a vast body of methods for solving various kinds of differential equations, both numerically and analytically.
