Abstract:
Computer simulation is a powerful tool for exploring difficult problems in many areas of science. Simulation modelling, coupled with advanced graphics, has enabled important new industries such as animation for computer games, and computer-generated scenes and characters in movies. In this lecture we will explore some examples of interesting simulation models as we examine the important roles they play in 21st century science.
