Modern simulation tools are not used only by experts, however, and reliability has therefore become an important issue, meaning that it is not sufficient for a simulation package merely to print out some numbers, claiming them to be the desired results. An estimate of the associated error is also needed. Modern simulation tools are not used only by experts, however, and reliability has therefore become an important issue, meaning that it is not sufficient for a simulation package merely to print out some numbers, claiming them to be the desired results. An estimate of the associated error is also needed. Written by VB guru Rod Stephens, this practical book offers strategies for writing effective, error-free programs and how to repair programs damaged by bugs.
All measurements contain errors.
And with global positioning systems, total station instruments, digital metric cameras, and satellite imaging systems now generating vast quantities of data, adjustment for errors is crucial to accurate interpretation. Realizing that some students fail to see the relevance of applied maths, the author makes sure he uses modern and relevant examples. Each chapter contains numerous worked examples and problems for solution and all answers are provided. Looks at applied math in a very practical way - uses supermarket bar codes to explain error correction codes. For process plant engineers and those who design software for them, analyzes the role of human error in computer-controlled process plants, demonstrating how mistakes can occur and providing computer specialists with insight into the user's perspective.
