2MODELING A BIKE SHARE SYSTEM

image

This chapter presents a simple model of a bike share system and demonstrates the features of Python we’ll use to develop simulations of real-world systems. Along the way, we’ll make decisions about how to model the system. In the next chapter we’ll review these decisions and gradually improve the model.

This chapter is available as a Jupyter notebook where you can read the text, run the code, and work on the exercises. You can access the notebooks at https://allendowney.github.io/ModSimPy.
