Systems Simulation. 3 credits, 3 contact hours

Catalog description

Prerequisites: completion of a 100-level GUR course in computing; MATH 333 . This course introduces computer simulation as an algorithmic problem solving technique. Includes discrete simulation models, elementary theory, stochastic processes, use of simulation languages, random number generators, simulation of probabilistic processes, design of simulation experiments, validation of models, queueing systems, and applications to the design and analysis of operational systems. The GPSS language is covered in detail.
