Doing numerical computation is definitely something that comes up in CS, as well as in applied maths. For example, deep learning is all about basic calculus, and algorithms to do this. Many discrete problems can be posed as a continuous problem, which is usually called a relaxation, and more easily (approximately) solved in the continuous domain.
