The bookModeling Reality covers a wide range of fascinating
subjects, accessible to anyone who wants to learn about the use of
computer modeling to solve a diverse range of problems, but who
does not possess a specialized training in mathematics or computer
science. The material presented is pitched at the level of
high-school graduates, even though it covers some advanced topics
(cellular automata, Shannon's measure of information, deterministic
chaos, fractals, game theory, neural networks, genetic algorithms,
and Turing machines). These advanced topics are explained in terms
of well known simple concepts: Cellular automata - Game of Life,
Shannon's formula - Game of twenty questions, Game theory -
Television quiz, etc. The book is unique in explaining in a
straightforward, yet complete, fashion many important ideas,
related to various models of reality and their applications.
Twenty-five programs, written especially for this book, are
provided on an accompanying CD. They greatly enhance its
pedagogical value and make learning of even the more complex topics
an enjoyable pleasure.
