Description

   Models and simulations of all kinds are tools for dealing with reality. Humans
   have always used mental models to better understand the world around them: to
   make plans, to consider different possibilities, to share ideas with others, to
   test changes, and to determine whether or not the development of an idea is
   feasible. The book Modeling and Simulation uses exactly the same approach except
   that the traditional mental model is translated into a computer model, and the
   simulations of alternative outcomes under varying conditions are programmed on
   the computer. The advantage of this method is that the computer can track the
   multitude of implications and consequences in complex relationships much more
   quickly and reliably than the human mind. This unique interdisciplinary text not
   only provides a self contained and complete guide to the methods and mathematical
   background of modeling and simulation software (SIMPAS) and a collection of 50
   systems models on an accompanying diskette. Students from fields as diverse as
   ecology and economics will find this clear interactive package an instructive and
   engaging guide.
