I would say that is a better definition of quantitative biology than computational biology.I think of computation in general as a field of applied mathematics that overlaps with computer science. For most purposes, the field of application doesn't matter. Monte carlo integration or inversion of huge sparse matrices can use the same algorithms for physics or psychology or anything in between. If I have a financial problem that requires extensive computation, I don't go to a computational finance expert/journal/textbook, I go to a computation expert/journal/textbook.Therefore, I think of computational finance as the field populated by people who know something about computation and something about finance, and have practical experience computing financial problems. I don't think there's any more to it than that.
