Publisher's Synopsis
An updated and expanded edition that now reflects the many recent developments in simulation and computer modeling theory and practice. Giving fast and accurate numerical methods that are ideally suited to simulating both linear and nonlinear systems for design and for 'real time' training, the book includes a new section on the use of modern numerical methods for generating chaos and simulating random processes, providing information on simulator verification and integrating material on the personal computer throughout the text. Also given are examples of computer programs in BASIC and new material on the development and application of numerical methods in both the time and frequency domains. Expanded references are also incorporated.
