Having just completed a several-weeks long investigation
into how one would go about simulating the bodies in
a solar system, we're just about ready to jump back in and
see what new and exciting things have been going on in the
world of scientific computing. To maintain our learning
mindset, though, I want to introduce you to a nice web
site that I recently found.
The material at Professor Arsham's website is well-organized and can effectively be read top to bottom, like a book, or skimmed to pull out what you may be searching for. The web site begins with an overview of modeling and simulation and then moves on to discuss some specific concepts such as stochastic process, system dynamics, and web-based simulation. There is also a section on how to select the right simulation software for your needs. If the information listed above were the extent of what is offered, the web site would still be a worthwhile visit. Professor Arsham, however, goes on to develop many of the tools which form the foundations of the results analysis and fine-tuning which make simulation truly powerful. Included here are discussions on statistics and probability for simulation, random number generators, sensitivity estimation, and optimization techniques. Whether you are just a casual observer of the scientific computing and simulation field or you want to become a player, Professor Arsham's site is definitely worth taking the time to investigate. If you care to take advantage of this excellent resource, visit his page at Go To Page: 1
