Modeling for All Scales using object-oriented programming to establish and evaluate the effectiveness of models of intermediate and large-scale systems, small. small-scale model of growth, competition, and the evolution gives way, in succession, to model a larger scale and larger such as international trade and global geobiosphere. Anyone interested in an easy to use approach to modeling complex systems written by perhaps the most original ecological system will want to book this century. Key Features * It is possible to teach modeling and simulation without prior knowledge of many mathematical * Reason for modeling and simulation discussed * This book makes modeling and simulation fun by staying focused on the simple idea that has minimodels important principles for science and society * The steps in successive chapters are arranged so that readers can teach themselves modeling, simulation, and programs needed to simulate their system diagram * CD-ROM has a program minimodel and QuickBasic versions and extended to run it
