Systems Simulation

Objectives

The student attending these classes with success should understand the following concepts:

- What is a dynamic system;

- How to approach the problem of developing a mathematical model representing the dynamic system behaviour;

- How to develop a computer simulation that replicates the behaviour of the modelled system.
