Historical Perspective on Computational Star Formation

Abstract

This contribution contains the introductory historical remarks that I presented at IAU Symposium 270 on "Computational Star Formation" held in Barcelona, Spain, May 31 - June 4, 2010. I give a personal view of some of the early histoy of the subject and I comment on some of the important things that were learned from numerical work on star formation.
