Computer Modeling and Simulation - Stanislaw Raczynski

. .

Résumé :
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.
