Overview

Continuous System Simulation describes in detail how to build mathematical simulations of systems that change continuously over time. It covers: - numerical integration - simulation of stiff systems - simulation of marginally stable systems - simulation of noisy systems - model validation techniques - simulation verification - the inverse problem - dynamic nonlinear programming - simulation software - simulation hardware Intended for advanced undergraduates in electrical, computer, mechanical, and civil engineering, it is a highly computer-oriented text, introducing numerical methods and algorithms along with the applications and conceptual tools. Homework problems, suggestions for research projects, and open-ended questions conclude each chapter.
