To provide the student with the ability to develop conceptual models of complex systems and the related processes. TEXT Discrete Systems Simulation by B. Khoshnevis, McGraw-Hill, Inc., New York, 1994. There will be one lecture per week with several assigned homework projects. Most projects will require computer modeling of systems with progressively increasing degrees of complexities. Graduate students will be required to complete a term project.
All homework are due at the start of the class.
No homework will be accepted beyond that time. Your homework comprises a large percentage of your grade, and the extent of your effort in doing your homework independently will reflect strongly in quizzes and exams.
