Nitpick, but there are some transformations that our current computers (or our current mathematics moreso) cannot do, for example, a continuous form of the Fourier Transform. We only possess discrete formulations of it. But in nature, light passing through a prism or diffraction grating performs an equivalent operation (presumably) continuously. So as of right now, nature is still more powerful than our strongest computers.
