"Computer simulation" means to simulate behaviors or characteristics of actual systems by running computer programs. In the modern world with highly-developed economic, social, and production systems, computer simulation is indispensable for planning, analyzing, predicting or optimizing these systems.
In this course, students are required to use LMS and Scilab/Scicos, a free software for computer simulation and mathematical analysis.
Students are expected to acquire the knowledge and techniques related to DP2.
Important contents to be learned in this course are:
1. Introduction to computer simulation, modeling principles
2. Introduction to Scilab/Scicos
3. Simulation of differential equations
4. Laplace transform and block diagrams for simulation
5. Probability distribution and stochastic systems
6. Simulation on Least Squares Method
7. Simulation of system optimization: linear/nonlinear programming
The first objective of the course is to learn and understand the basics of computer simulation and Scilab/Scicos.
The second objective is to develop mathematical models and block diagrams to simulate system behaviors with Scilab/Scicos.
The third objective is to simulate system optimization with Scilab or Microsoft Excel.
Grading policy is based on the answer reports to assignments A and B (30%), and on final examination at the campus (70%). After report submission, the correct answers to the assignments are sent to the students qualified for final examination.
