All Flashcards
Give an example of simulation application.
Traffic flow modeling, weather forecasting, disease spread modeling.
How are simulations used in science?
To model and test hypotheses about complex phenomena.
How are simulations used in engineering?
To test designs and predict performance before building physical prototypes.
Why are simulations useful?
To investigate, study impractical scenarios, and make predictions.
What's a key limitation of simulations?
Oversimplification and potential bias.
How does abstraction relate to simulations?
Simulations use abstraction to simplify complex systems.
Why is randomness important in simulations?
It helps simulate real-world variability and unpredictability.
What is a simulation?
A simplified model of a complex system or event.
What is abstraction?
Simplifying details to focus on the main point.
What is a random number generator?
A tool to simulate real-world variability.
