Computer-assisted physics can be considered the third approach besides experimental and theoretical physics. Numerical simulations are especially useful in the study of non-crystalline materials such as liquids, glasses, amorphous solids, and liquid crystals. Some applications of computer simulations to these materials are discussed.
