About this Unit
This unit covers a general introduction to simulation modelling, with a special focus on systems that change only at discrete points in time. It begins with Monte-Carlo methods for evaluating integrals, and moves into the simulation of simple queuing and inventory systems with the use of Pascal. It then introduces special simulation languages, with special reference to SEESIM. The purpose is to be able to set up and solve simple practical problems. In doing so we emphasise the need to analyse outputs statistically, and to offer advice on the basis of the analysis. Although requiring computer programming, the emphasis of the unit is mathematical and statistical. It deals with an introduction to random number generation by computers; it also deals with the computer generation of independent random variables with a common probability distribution.
