Study Guide Overview
This study guide covers simulations, including their purpose, benefits (investigation, studying the impractical), drawbacks (oversimplification, bias), and the role of abstraction and randomness. It emphasizes the importance of recognizing simulations as models, not reality. The guide also provides exam tips, focusing on high-value topics like abstraction, algorithms, data, and the impact of computing, and common question types (code analysis, technology impact, algorithm explanation). Finally, it offers advice on time management and avoiding common pitfalls.
