Computer Modeling and Simulation: Reference Text

Exploring over 130 topics, this encyclopedic volume examines methods and software for computer modeling and simulation, from foundational methodologies to practical implementations. Novel ideas like functional sensitivity, differential inclusions, and dynamic reachable sets enrich academic and professional appeal. Computer Modeling and Simulation provides a comprehensive but concise analysis of the concepts, methods, and software for students, educators, and professionals in the field of modeling and simulation by computers. Stanislaw Raczynski's book can be used in preparing and delivering graduate-level courses. It is written rather as an encyclopedic reference rather a regular textbook. The book contains more than 130 topics, form the general methodological issues to the particular implementation and main existing software tools. Some new and original concepts are included, notably functional sensitivity, application of the differential inclusions, and determination of reachable sets of dynamic systems.
