More Concepts of Computational Models
4.1 Introduction
This chapter starts with a brief discussion on errors that occur in computations.
Then the important concept of rate of change is discussed. Another case study of
a computational model is introduced with a simple problem: the free-falling object.
An implementation in C is included in order to explain the solution to the problem
discussed. The chapter then presents concepts and principles on simulation and sim-
ulation models; problem and model decomposition; software tools for implementing
(programming), running the model, and the visualization of results. Types of simula-
tion models are ...
