- For the use of the word in football, see diving (football)
A simulation is an imitation of some real thing, state of affairs, or process. The act of simulating something generally entails representing certain key characteristics or behaviors of a selected physical or abstract system.
- …for Distinction Sake, a Deceiving by Words, is commonly called a Lye, and a Deceiving by Actions, Gestures, or Behavior, is called Simulation… Robert South (1643-1716)
A computer simulation is an attempt to model a real-life situation on a computer so that it can be studied to see how the system works. By changing variables, predictions may be made about the behaviour of the system.

Mathematical Logic
George Tourlakis Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000
Mathematical Logic presents mathematical or "symbolic" logic as a reliable tool for deductive reasoning. It trains the student in both the established "Hilbert" style of writing proofs in mathematics, as well as in the emerging "equational" style that finds fruitful application in computer science curricula, especially in the areas of software engineering and program correctness. There are extensive sets of examples, Read More...
Risk Assessment in Geotechnical Engineering
Gordon A. Fenton, D. V. Griffiths Tue, 02 Sep 2008 04:00:00 -0000
The increasing sophistication of buildings and bridges demand new analytical techniques. Reliability-based design is a well established technique in the structural and mechanical engineering communities that is now gaining momentum among geotechnical engineers. This book introduces an innovative reliability-based method for risk assessment in geotechnical engineering that allows engineers to create a better model for analyzing the properties and possible Read More...
