SIMULATION

Encyclopedia

Ideal auxiliary text for teaching / learning computer simulation software and modeling

More than 120 topics, 300 keywords.

This text was created as a help file.The topics in the contents paragraph are organized in chapters, though the consecutive topics have not been written as a book-like sequence, but rather as encyclopedic notes. Some topics are very short, and some are more detailed, extending to several pages. In most of the topics the literature references are given inside the text.

The topics which names are written in upper case letters are mainly descriptions of software tools.

Here is the Contents section only.
