It also provides a complete introduction to the Real-Time Workshop. The text takes the reader through the process of converting a mathematical model of a continuous or discrete system into a simulation model and source code implementation, which can be explored to better understand the dynamic behavior of the system. The second edition addresses common nonlinearities, expands coverage of the Kalman filter, and features extensive treatment of numerical parameters"--; "In the first article of SIMULATION magazine in Fall 1963, the editor John McLeod proclaimed simulation to mean "the act of representing some aspects of the real world by numbers or symbols which may be easily manipulated to facilitate their study." Two years later, it was modified to "the development and use of models for the study of the dynamics of existing or hypothesized systems." More than forty years later, the simulation community has yet to converge upon a universally accepted definition"-- ER -
