[Computing in Science and Engineering](https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cs) (CiSE) is a bimonthly technical magazine published by the [IEEE Computer Society](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_of_Electrical_and_Electronics_Engineers#IEEE_Computer_Society). The magazine is interdisciplinary and covers topics such as numerical simulation, modeling, and data analysis and visualization. CiSE aims to provide its readers with practical information on the latest developments in computational methods and their applications in science and engineering.

Computing in Science & Engineering magazine publishes peer-reviewed technical articles, special issues, editorials, and departments (regular columns). The [CiSE departments](https://www.computer.org/csdl/magazine/cs/write-for-us/167274?title=Department%20Guidelines&periodical=Computing%20in%20Science%20%26%20Engineering) are:

1. Case Studies in Translational Computer Science
2. Computer Simulations
3. Computing Prescriptions
4. Diversity and Inclusion
5. Education
6. Leadership Computing
7. Novel Architectures
8. Scientific Programming
9. Visualization Corner
10. Your Homework Assignment

## History

CiSE was founded in 1999 from the merger of IEEE Computational Science & Engineering (CS&E) and Computers in Physics (CIP), published by the American Institute of Physics (AIP).^1

## Notable articles

One of the most notable articles published in CiSE is "Matplotlib: A 2D Graphics Environment," by the late [John D. Hunter](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_D._Hunter).^2 It shows nearly 20 thousand full-text views and more than 15 thousand citations in IEEE Xplore (checked March 6, 2023). A very popular department article is "What is the Blockchain?"^3 by member of the editorial board Massimo DiPierro.
Other notable articles include "Python for Scientific Computing" by [Travis Oliphant](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Travis_Oliphant)^5, which has nearly 15 thousand views in Xplore, and "The NumPy Array: A Structure for Efficient Numerical Computation," by Stefan van der Walt et al.^6

The winner of the CiSE 2021 Best Paper Award^4 was "Jupyter: Thinking and Storytelling With Code and Data," by Brian E. Granger and [Fernando Pérez](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernando_Pérez_(software_developer)).^7
