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