Public țintă
As a reference guide for professionals interested in mathematical modeling and simulation; as a textbook for undergraduate courses in modeling and simulation within statistics, mathematics, engineering, computer science, economics, and life and social science departments; also appropriate as supplementary material for an introductory graduate–level course; and academic libraries. While modeling and simulation typically require knowledge of both mathematical representations and computer programs, prerequisites for this book only include familiarity of algebra and the functionalities of spreadsheets.Cuprins
