Computer Simulation Techniques

Computer simulation models can be extremely valuable for teaching andfor understanding real world processes. The discipline of creating amodel forces the investigator to carefully define each relationship andtest the result. Even simple models can be fundamentally unpredictable.Models are typically comprised of systems of differential equations andare solved by numerical integration with computer programs.Spreadsheets, simulation software and custom programs may be used tocalculate the numerical solution, draw graphs and animate theresult.
